City of Nashua, Public Works Division

Board of Public Works Meeting Date: June 27, 2019

Stephen Dookran, P.E., City Engineer
Engineering Department

Canal Street Bridge Repairs to Abutment

To award the construction contract for the installation of weep holes at the Canal Street
Bridge to William P. Davis Excavation of Hampton, NH in the amount of $39,905.
Funding is through Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Capital; Activity:
Bridge Rehab.

The Canal Street Bridge over Nashua River is part of a significant east-west

arterial road seeing approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. In the routine NHDOT
inspections, the bridge currently has a rating of 4 for the substructure. The main issue
in the substructure is the East Abutment concrete spalling.

Fuss & O’Neil of Manchester, NH CLD designed the repairs and prepared the bid
package for construction. Work includes the installation of weep holes at the east
abutment. The function of the weep holes is to drain water that is currently seeping
through and causing further deterioration of the concrete. Once this water seepage issue
is resolved, a later phase of work will be repairs to the deteriorated concrete. The
concrete repair work cannot be done until the water seepage has subsided.

The construction package for the repairs was advertised on March 7, 2019. The
Engineer’s Estimate prepared by Fuss & O’Neil was $47,000. Two bids were received
on June 20, 2019 as follows:

William P. Davis Excavation of Hampton, NH $39,905

Defelice Corporation of Dracut, MA $47,500
The low bidder has recently completed work for the Division with satisfactory results.
Example projects include a Yard Hydrant and a Siphon Covers Installation project for

the Wastewater Department and a Guardrail Installation project on Temple St for the
Engineering Department.

Pending approval, this work will be completed by October of this year.
