Mayor Donchess

All right. Why don’t we revise that to just be a motion to approve the purchase?

well as to data extracted encrypted information on mobile devices which we use for pretty much all our investigations —

child and sex abuse investigations, homicides, overdose, deaths, missing persons, domestic violence cases. We pretty
much use this pretty regularly for all aspects of electronic evidence.

ON THE QUESTION

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Good evening. This annual software maintenance provides all of the maintenance for the city’s phone system with
CISCO. It’s critical and as you know, IT has done a great deal on integrating the new phone system over the past couple
of years. So this really is that crucial support and it is an annual cost.

ON THE QUESTION

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Good evening. As many of you know, the city contracts with Community Media Services Group to run the public access
channel from our studio over on Riverside Drive. Back in 2012, the city entered into a contract after an RFP with
Community Media Services and the end of that contract allowed them to continue at a month to month, year to year basis.

Finance Committee — 12/01/2021 Page 5

The Cable Television Advisory Group has decided that it’s probably in the city’s best interest after the lapse of time to go
out for another RFP and at least see what the market conditions bring. So we are currently looking at an RFP.

On December 10*, we will be meeting to finalizing that RFP and issue it to the community. We did give Community
Media Services a letter to that effect but we are asking you that while we are undergoing this process if we could have
permission to pay Community Media Services month to month. It’s about $11,500 a month until the conclusion of that
RFP process and another vendor has been selected. We anticipate that that will be done within this fiscal year.
Alderman Klee

Thank you Mr. Mayor. A couple of questions. First is there’s always a possibility that the current media service would be
able to -that we would be picking them or are they just out of the running? I’m a little confused by that.

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

We have advised Community Media Group that we would like them to respond to the RFP and if they choose to do so,
they will be valued with the other selection.

Alderman Klee

The $11,500 per month where you have it not to exceed $92,000 — I’m sorry | haven't done the math in my head — but
we’re looking at what seven months, eight months is you’re anticipating it would take to get through all of this?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Yes. So we hope to after December 10‘ meeting finalize the RFP, get it issued immediately, and then continue the
process. We’re really looking at April/May to see a new selection and that new selected vendor would be approved by the
CTAB Committee.

Alderman Klee

Just one more question Mr. Mayor. What is the annual contract for Community Media Service Group that we currently
have?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

So currently a normal 12 month year is about $130,000.
Alderman Klee
Okay, thank you.

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

You're welcome.

Mayor Donchess

Any other questions? Madam Clerk could you please call the roll?

TO THE CONTRACT FOR COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS PRICE INCREASE WITH AVSG LP IN AN AMOUNT NOT
TO EXCEED $50,000. FUNDING WILL BE THROUGH DEPARTMENT 186 TRANSPORTATION; FUND: 61310
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

We have our Transit Manager who is going to explain this briefly to us even though it’s somewhat self-evident.

Camille Correa, Transit Administrator

Good evening. The compressed natural gas area where it’s open to the public is located at 11 Riverside Street. DPW
utilizes the compressed natural gas station as well as Transit and it is also open to the public. The vendor requested a
price increase due to the price of CNG being increased overall. So that would change from the current price to $2.49 a
gallon. If you have any questions of me, I’d be happy to answer.

Alderman Klee

Thank you. What is the current price?

Camille Correa, Transit Administrator

| believe it’s $2.29.
Alderman Klee
Okay, thank you.

Mayor Donchess

Anyone else. All right, could you please call the roll?

That’s correct Mr. Mayor. For the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development and this is just the annual
snowplowing contract at $40,000. That is in our operational budget.

CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Yes thank you, Mr. Mayor. Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. This is a project that we started a while
back. The money has been escrowed. We put an RFP out to the market. In the spring, we received some proposals.
We put together this contract before you which ultimately would be a deliverable of a concept plan for land in and around
where NIMCO is which is remnant from the Broad Street Parkway and we would be looking to try to put this land back into
productive use so it becomes taxable and having a better understanding of what we can do with it would behoove us.

Mayor Donchess

And this money has been budgeted for this purpose?

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

I'm sorry, say again?

Mayor Donchess

This money has already been budgeted for this purpose.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Correct, yes.

Mayor Donchess

All right. Any discussion? Alderman O’Brien.

Alderman O’Brien

Yeah. Mr. Cummings. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Cummings seeing the former history of the building, not saying
anything went on, but are we clear that it's not a brownfield and part of the study will look into that to make sure that the
land is clear before we do anything with it?

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Yes, part of this study would be looking at the hazardous materials. | would not venture to guess at this time that it is not
clean. | would think it's actually may have some hazardous material in it but we will know that once we get into the
planning of the project.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; FUND: 53142 CONSULTING SERVICES/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ESCROW
FUNDS, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Again for the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. In a similar vein as
the previous contract, this is a feasibility study to be done on the Elm Street Middle School. The Elm Street Middle School
will become surplus sometime in the in the spring, summer of 2024. | think it would behoove us to make sure we have a
plan in place that we can execute on particularly because of the importance of the Keefe Theater and making sure that we
can keep that operational. So we would like to move forward with this project so we can get a plan in place and we can
put the building back into productive use after the summer of 2024.

Alderman Klee

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Director Cummings a question | was going to ask at the previous one. But in both of these cases,
you very specifically say we recommend this bid to be what is the lowest total cost vendor who met the RFP specified
requirements. It is not necessarily the lowest bid, but the others did not meet those requirements as you put forward in
the RFP, is that correct? So for instance, I'm looking at this Marvel of 1485 and they have ICON and Market which are
below them, but | assume they didn't meet all the qualifications.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

So | want to be clear, that memo is coming from Kelly Parkinson not from me. I'm looking at that paragraph right now. |

will leave it to her to speak to it but | think it's pretty safe to say that the proposals that we received, Marvell was not the
highest. It was in the middle of the pack but we negotiated it down but we were able to still maintain the scope that we
originally put up for in our proposal.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

If | may, Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Again, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. So this contract before you is actually was an idea or a
deliverable that we had originally included in the Nashua Performing Arts Center Project. We value engineered the idea
of the West Pearl Street streetscaping out of the project to bring that project costs down. The Downtown Improvement
Committee still believes that it would be a worthwhile venture to move forward with improving West Pearl Street,
particularly with expanding the sidewalks which are not ADA compliant at this time. So they have set a bulk of the money
aside to bring a design to a point where we could seek construction funding and that's what this contract endeavors to do.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Alright. An “AOT” is alteration of terrain permit, right?

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Yes, yes. Mr. Mayor. Again, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. We need this permit. This was a permit
not originally anticipated when we started the design of the project and once we started designing the project, we realized
that we were going to need what's referred to as an AOT Permit. So this is just an amendment to the design contract to
will allow us to achieve that permit and continue with the design.

Mayor Donchess

All right. Questions? Alderwoman Kelly.

Alderwoman Kelly

What's an AOT Permit?

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Yes, great question if | may Mr. Chair.

Mayor Donchess

Alteration of terrain, meaning the ground.

Alderwoman Kelly

Ah, thank you.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

If | may Mr. Mayor?

Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

So after a certain amount of disturbance on land, | want to say 100,000 square feet or there about, the Department of
Environmental Services - this is a State level permit. It requires a review and that's what an AOT provides us as is a
permit after it's been reviewed.

Alderwoman Kelly

| Know you said we didn't anticipate this permit. Do we anticipate changes from their evaluation that will then have to be
