A-1 Library Facility Assessment $ 88,830 $ 88,830

After 50 years of heavy use the library building. grounds, and mechanical systems are in poor condition and in need of
major repairs or replacement, The Board of Trustees is working to address this deterioration by engaging a firm ta do
a thorough facility assessment and draft a master plan for the building. This assessment will help the library and the
city prioritize needed repairs and improvements, identify costs (and potential cost savings) for those prajects, and
establish a maintenance and capital improvement plan for the future.

A-1 Airport Reconstruction of Apron G/F Ramp
$ 208,334 $ 208,334

This project will reconstruct the “Foxtrot/Golf Ramp”. Most of the airport's transient corporate jets and piston aircraft
flying in and out of Nashua Airport use this ramp area daily. Additionally, there are Nashua-based aircraft located on
this ramp. The ramp is currently in poor condition and the pavement has exceeded its useful life expectancy. The
project will be completed utilizing 96% FAA Grant Share ($3,750,000), 5% NHDOT Share ($208,334) and 5% Airport
Sponsor (City Share) ($208,334).

A-2 Communications Public Safety Portable Radio
Division Replacement $ 3,700,000 $ 3,700,000

The Fire and Police portable radio equipment will become obsolete as of December 31, 2021. All non-public safety
portable radios are currently obsolete. These radios will need to be replaced. Fire and Police have requested
additional software be installed in these radios to enhance the safety of Police Officers and Firefighters.

A-2 Fire Department PURVIS Station Notification $ 539,542 $ 539,542

Nashua Fire Rescue's 2021 Master Plan indicated that NFR should make it a priority to alert only the fire station(s)}
that are dispatched to calls to reduce the constant radio traffic that is currently transmitted to all of the fire

stations. Nashua Fire Rescue responds to medical and fire emergencies from six fire stations and one
communications center. The manner of dispatching and station alerting has remained unchanged for well over a
hundred years; from bells to the addition of radio and then computers with printouts utilizing a “mass notification”
method. Nashua Fire Rescue continues to respond to an increase of calls for service and a large amount of radio
traffic and information being transmitted and received at stations.

Emergency responders within stations have a constant source of stimulation with lights, bells, ongoing radio traffic, in
addition to normal ambient background noise of fire stations. Studies into the constant audio and visual stimulation all
day and night has produced a great deal of information of the physical and cognitive effects on firefighters affecting
their health and ability to respond to emergencies. Cumulative effects of this stimulation and effects on overnight
personnel is clear and convincing.

{Fire Department PURVIS Station Notification continued)

The PURVIS Fire Station Alerting System (PURVIS FSAS) will leverage the city’s fiber optic network to install
modules and devices in each fire station that will allow the department to activate and notify the specific station or
stations responding to an event. The technology of station alerting also has a health component to “ramp” up
notifications and lighting in the stations responding. PURVIS FSAS integrates with existing Computer Aided Dispatch
(CAD) software to clearly display call information and provide a clear dispatch dialog allowing the dispatcher to
continue gathering and preparing for call escalation and additional information.

The PURVIS platform is redundant on the control head equipment and gives the communication center a constant
and complete overview of the system. Heads-up displays and turnout timers give responders real time information
along with vehicle presence indicators to automatically track apparatus out of stations. The Fire Alarm operators can
isolate dispatches in multiple apparatus stations to the individuals of the apparatus dispatched.

A-2 Police Department CAD/RMS System Upgrade $ 600,000 $ 600,000

The Nashua Police Department (NPD) would like to request Capital Improvements funding for Fiscal Year 2023 to
cover the costs associated with the design, building, implementation, and maintenance of a fully integrated Computer
Aided Dispatch (CAD), Records Management (RMS), Management Information (MIS), Mobile Data Computing
(MDC), Evidence Inventory, Criminal Case Tracking for legal prosecution, and Photo Imaging systems including
applications software, operating system software, hardware equipment and all required peripherals and integration
services to serve the Nashua Police Department.

The current systems utilized by NPD are approaching 20 years of use. The software was first implemented in the
department in early 2004. While the software still allows the department to function on a day-to-day basis, the
product itself has been purchased and/or acquired several times in recent years by several larger companies. The
current vendor has vowed to keep the product in support. However, they will no longer add new features and fixes
unless obligated by state and local laws or current contracts. This has forced the department into a position where it
can no longer request necessary changes when needed, to adapt to an ever changing environment.

Lastly, the current CAD/RMS system runs on antiquated technology that requires extensive networking and limits
the ability to operate outside the perimeter of the department's current location, Many systems now available on the
market offer “cloud based” or “hybrid” versions which, in the event of a catastrophe or damaging event, Dispatching
and Reporting can be easily relocated offsite in a moment’s notice and critical services can continue with little to no
disruption of the services the department provides to the community. In addition, this older technology has proven
new challenges while attempting to implement newer complementary technology, such as the recent installation of
body worn and in car video. Due to the outdated technology of the CAD/RMS, the department struggled to be able to
get these two products to work in conjunction. The estimated cost of this project is $500,000 - $600,000.

C-1 Public Works Court improvements
(Park and Rec) $ 200,000 $ 200,000

The Tennis, Basketball and Pickle ball courts throughout the City need to be rehabilitated. This includes converting
current courts to other sports; paving, sealing, painting, netting, fencing and possible lighting updates.

Division of Mine Falls Park
C1 Public Works Artificial Flelds
(Park and Rec) $ 770,000 $ 770,000

The need for more rectangular fields is very evident by the amount of play the existing fields received and the number
of requests that are received for fields. The conversion of 1-2 fields at Mine Falls Park to an artificial surface with lights
would create better playing conditions; reduce the need for fertilization, painting and mowing. This would also create
more available playing time for residents

Division of Jeff Morin Fields
C-1 Public Works at Roby Park
(Park and Rec) ice Rink Roof $ 210,000 $ 210,000

The ice rink at the park is very popular. Having a roof over the rink would accomplish three things. The quality of the
ice would improve by keeping the sun and winter elements off of it. The winter ice skating season would be extended
again by keeping the sun off the rink. The roof would also provide a covered space creating a pavilion which residents
could reserve for functions in the park such as family reunions, birthdays and other events.

Division of
C-2 Public Works Portable ice Chiller
(Park and Rec) $ 180,000 $ 180,000

The ability to manage the ice rinks with the current weather changes has been difficult. Having a portable ice chiller
would allow better quality skating ice for a longer period of time giving residents an option for a good winter activity.

Division of
C-2 Public Works Water Park Development
(Parks & Rec) at Rotary Pool $ 300,000 $ 300,000

The development of a Splash Pad/Water Park would provide summer activity for many children of the City. The idea
would be to build this water park next to Rotary pool. Building at this location would allow the water park to utilize the
sanitation system already in place at the pool, the restrooms that already exist, and the supervision (lifeguards). Taking
advantage of the existing infrastructure would make the project affordable and would provide a high level of service to
the community.
