Pump Station Upgrades Project — Phase II

To approve the contract with DeFelice Corporation of Dracut, Massachusetts in an
amount not to exceed $5,335,200, for construction of the Pump Station Upgrades Phase II
Project. Funding will be through: Department: 169- Wastewater; Fund: SRF Loan;
Activity: Pump Station Upgrades Phase II.

DeFelice Bid

The City of Nashua owns 13 pump station stations and one CSO pump station in need of
upgrades. Phase I of the this project was completed in May 2021 which included 6 of the
most critical pump stations in need of renovation. Phase II will be to upgrade the
remaining 8 pump stations. Upgrades include completely new pump station buildings at 2
locations, new packaged pump stations at 3 locations, and various upgrades at the
remaining 3 locations. The project includes new fiber cable communication from the
pump station back to the wastewater plant.

The following three bid alternates are not included in the contract: Alternate D for tying
fiber optics cable into traffic control cabinets, Alternate E for additional fiber installation
on Amherst Street, and Alternate F for installation of fire alarm wire. All 3 bid alternates
come to $127,325, and are for work outside the scope of the pump station project.
Another funding source is needed before it can awarded.

Woodard and Curran is the design engineer on this project. The Request for Proposal
went out on May 27, 2021. The bid opening was held on June 28th and the following bids
were received:

Contractor Base Bid
DeFelice Corporation $5,335,200
Albanese D&S, Inc. $6,728,200

DeFelice’s base bid of $5,335,200 is nearly equal to that of the Engineer’s estimate of
$5,324,000, hence, costs are considered reasonable. They have done satisfactory work on
Phase I of the pump station project as well as numerous sewer construction projects in the
past for the City of Nashua. They are well qualified for this work. References checked
were satisfactory on comparable projects.
