RE: Discussion on Continuation the Narrowing of Main Street

I am writing to request time for a presentation at the next convenient Infrastructure Committee
meeting where J am seeking input and guidance from the Board of Aldermen as to whether there
is an appetite to continue with the narrowing of Main Street.

Essentially, I am requesting a public discussion and ultimately feedback from the Board of
Aldermen as to whether we will be extending O-21-050 Amended and O-21-051 Amended to
next summer. Basically, keeping the layout of Main Street in a substantially similar fashion as to
what we have done this spring/summer into the summer of 2022.

There are outstanding matters where this type of guidance would help inform and steer practical
decisions that are needed and help with long-term planning. For instance, The Parking
department is in the midst of moving forward with the overall downtown parking study now that
we are emerging from COVID-19, but an underlying question is whether our Parking Consultant
should assume Main Street in its current layout will be continuing. Furthermore, businesses on
Main Street are wondering if they should be planning on this layout again next year.

Therefore, I am requesting an opportunity to discuss this matter with the entire Board of
Aldermen through the Infrastructure Committee.

THANK YOU.

Re: Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success (ORIS)
Request to Waive Vendor's License Fees

Atiached please find a request to waive the vendor's license fees in the amount of $100.00, as
prescribed by NRO 231-11,G.

As indicated in Ms. Witri's letter, the Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success, (ORIS),
is working with Grow Nashua and other organizations to identify gaps in fresh food access for
Nashua residents. They recently partnered with the Amherst Park Apartments located at 525
Amherst Sireei and are currenily in the process of identifying other locations within the city for
their mobile market to visit throughout the summer season.

Although additional paperwork and details are needed prior to this office issuing a license, |
am forwarding the request for the Board’s review and consideration. Thank you.

Dear Susan,

My name ts Laurel Witri, and | am the Food Access Specialist at the Organization for Refugee
and Immigrant Success, an ethnic-community based nonprofit organization in Manchester, NH.
We run several programs that serve the new American communities in our state, including a
farmer training program, healthy families program, employment services, a youth program, and
our mobile market program. | manage the mobile market program, which is essentially a
farmer's market on wheels, which was launched in summer 2019. We started with 3
limited-income housing sites in Manchester, and have expanded fo 19 “community food access”
sites in Manchester and Concord last year.

This year, we are expanding into Nashua, and have been working with our colleagues at Grow
Nashua and other organizations to identify gaps in the fresh food access for Nashua residents.
We are targeting northwest Nashua, an area that is more sprawling and has Jess focused food
access work happening currently. The Amherst Park Apartments building is our first partner to
sign on, which houses seniors and families. We are in conversation with several oiher potential
pariners as well, and expect to visit Nashua once a week throughout the summer season.

Our market offers fresh, local, fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, and dairy at a negligible
markup, and residents with SNAP/EBT receive 50% off produce through the Granite State
Market Match program. We do not cover the cosi of operations by sales, and this is a
grant-funded program. We barely break even on procurement alone, and we see what we do as
a setvice rather than a business enterprise, however we are always working towards building
sustainability with partnerships and sponsorships. The city of Manchester waives our vendor
fee, and the city of Concord considers our site visits “charitable events” instead of, say, “food
truck” stops.

We would appreciate it if the city of Nashua also waived our fee for our vendor license, however
we would be happy to pay it if necessary and are ready to do so upon request.

Kindly,
Laurel Witri, Food Access Specialist, ORIS

2021 CIPP Lining Program - Construction

‘To approve the award of the construction contract for the 2021 CIPP Lining Program to
Green Mountain Pipeline Services, LLC of Bethel, VT in the amount of $1,990,745.39
pending bond approval. Funding will be through: Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund:
Bond; Activity: Sewer Rehab.

The annual sewer program addresses failing, aged sewers and associated structures and
piping. This 2021 CIPP (Cured-in-Place-Pipe) Lining program is expected to video
inspect approximately 80,000 feet of sewer pipe, line approximately 32,000 feet of sewer
pipe and rehabilitate approximately 120 sewer structures. Pipe lining is significantly less
expensive and less disruptive than full pipe replacement, and is instrumental in
rehabilitating the City’s sewer infrastructure.

Five bids were received on February 8th as follows:

Green Mountain Pipeline Services, LLC of Bethel, VT $1,990,745.39

Kenyon Pipeline Inspection of Queensbury, NY $2,071,630.00
National Water Main Cleaning Co. of Canton, MA $1,997,496.40
Granite Inliner of Orleans, IN $2,146,287.70
Insituform Technologies of Chesterfield, MO $1,997,406.00

The low bid was reviewed and found to be acceptable. Green Mountain has performed
well on other sewer projects with other public works entities in New Hampshire based
on review of previous projects and references. Work is planned to start in April.
