Contributions

Plan members are required to contribute a percentage of their gross earnings to the pension
plan, for which the contribution rates are 7% for employees and teachers, 11.55% for police,
and 11.80% for fire. The City makes contributions to the pension plan equal to the amount
required by Revised Statutes Annotated 100-A:16, III, which is 11.17% for employees,
17.80% for teachers, 28.43% for police and 30.09% for fire. The City’s contributions to
NHRS for the year ended June 30, 2021 was $23,356,118, which was equal to its annual
required contribution.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about
the fiduciary net position of the NHRS and additions to/deductions from NHRS’ fiduciary
net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by NHRS. For
this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are
recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred
(inflows) of Resources Related to Pensions

At June 30, 2021, the City reported a liability of $320,002,458 for its proportionate share
of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2020, and
the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability
was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan
relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
At June 30, 2020, the City’s proportion was 5.00%.

SUBJECT: | CONTRACT AWARD FOR INFLATABLE COMMAND POST SHELTER (VALUE: $49,155.37)
DEPARTMENT: 156 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT; FUND: STATE HOMELAND SECURITY
GRANT PROGRAM 56.1001.17.02; CATEGORY: 71 EQUIPMENT

The City has a need for a portable selter that can quickly be stood up to house command post operations during an
incident of extended length. It is also vitally important that the shelter has the capability to be climate controlled for
use in extreme heat and extreme cold situations. Experiences during the past few emergencies in Nashua have
demonstrated the need for this capability. This need was further validated by a multidisciplinary team with
representation from Emergency Management, Police, Fire, and EMS.

Inflatable shelters provide a safe area for a command post or mass casualty incident. The shelters require minimal
time to set up and therefore provide quicker protection for members of the response command staff or injured
patients. This shorter command post set up thus allows the City’s emergency responders to provide a more effective
treatment of the scene and victims. These shelters also provide convenience in that they are already compatible with
the decontamination tents owned by the city. This means that the likelihood of having to purchase further equipment
to serve this purpose is not in the foreseeable future. After comparing many vendors in the field of command post
shelters and recognizing the value of inflatable and climate controlled shelters the multidisciplinary team determined
the Zumro Model 400 with Custom Attachment [for the Nashua Police Department Command Vehicle]fo be the best
value, and most versatile option for use by all City departments.

This purchase is pursuant to NRO § 5-84 (A)(5), Special purchasing procedures for sole-source procurements.
Please see the attached sole source letter from Zumro Air Shelters.

The full purchase of this shelter will be funded through a State Homeland Security Program Grant administered by
the NH Department of Safety Grants Management Unit (GMU). The product as quoted has already been approved
for purchase by the GMU.

The Emergency Management Director and the multidisciplinary first responder team recommend awarding the
purchase in the amount of $49,155.37 to Zumro/Air Shelters, USA P.O. Box 667227 Pompano Beach, FL 33066.

Office of Emergency Management
Nashua, New Hampshire

Dear Mr. Chigas,

Please use this letter as sole source verification.
AIR SHELTERS USA, LLC. is the sole manufacturer of all ZUMRO Air Shelters. ZUMRO’s proprietary
airframes have been unparalleled in the industry for over twenty-five years!

ZUMRO Shelters are an exclusive, proprietary product designed to the specifications of the first responders/
first receivers, emergency management, law enforcement, military and government markets.

All ZUMRO Shelters are made 100% in the U.S.A with US materials, at our privately owned factory located in
Pompano Beach, FL. ZUMRO Shelters are serviced and supported by directly by our factory in the state of
NH. All repairs are handled directly at our factory, on a per-case basis.

AIR SHELTERS USA inside sales and service department can be reached at (800) 932-6003.

Please consider the following regarding our product:

* ZUMRO has built over 6000 Shelters, mostly for use within the USA. It is very likely during large
events where other teams may respond for mutual aid, they will also have this product.

¢ Materials and maintenance:
- ZUMRO is the only manufacturer of inflatable Shelters that utilizes a special Life-Raft
grade Neoprene airframe. This material is unique in many ways, most notably its
tremendous shelf/work life.
- Repairs and maintenance, if needed, are also unique to this material. Staying with the same

’ materials reduces repair and maintenance needs and qualifications.

ZUMRO

Fast. Simple. Proven.

¢ The connector feature is unique to ZUMRO and per our design, size and zipper type. As to why there are no
other manufacturers that have this same connection, the reasons are that:

~ For decades ZUMRO has been the only inflatable manufacturer in the USA (and still is). ZUMRO has
been the leading product since 1986.

- Since most teams use ZUMRO Shelters around the country, inter-operability has been automatic.

- Competing products have not copied the design, which is also has a copyright and is registered with the
Library of Congress.

* Other features that make interoperability with a ZUMRO product important is the hardware. ZUMRO
Shelters have a proprietary high-flow valve system and pressure relief system designed and manufactured by
a company in the US to meet Coast Guard and Military standards.

* Compatibility of Shelters and accessories also reduces training, maintenance, deployment time, storage and
reduces purchasing needs.

Besides the obvious advantage of interoperability please also consider these important reasons for purchasing a
ZUMRO product:

- Most durable low pressure airframe in the world. Shelter has highest wind and snow load capabilities
compared with all other available rapid deployed Shelters.

- Material and Shelters have been proven to last over 20 years (and counting) of actual First Responder use.
- Shelter structure design allows Shelter to be repositioned after deployment.

~ Single chamber design for fast deployment and ease of maintenance.

- Oversized air structure on all Shelter sizes for great “air safety” factor. In fact, the Model 216 Shelter has
10-to-1 safety factor, meaning it will remain operational with only 1/10 the rated air pressure.

~ Unique all pre-assembled Shelter with all curtains and other interior options pre-installed for 3-5 minute
deployment. Decon connections can be made during deployment for immediate use of Shelter.

~ All American made.
- On-Site free in-service training and support.

- 3 Year warranty

We sincerely appreciate your business and hope to service your shelter needs for years to come. Please feel free
to contact me at the above toll-free number should you have any questions or concerns.

What Sets a ZUMRO Shelter Apart From the Rest?

ZUMRO started building and promoting “Inflatable Shelters” over 20 years ago. Over
the years, the product has gained substantial acceptance worldwide.

Today, ZUMRO is the leading manufacturer of “Air Shelters” in the U.S.A. Our shelters
are in service with Fire-Rescue, Law Enforcement, Hospitals, U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marines, Secret Service and private industry.

ZUMRO is committed to quality, functionality and service. Each shelter is handmade
100% in the U.S.A. and carries a 3 year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Simply the best
guarantee in the industry.

If for some unforeseen reason your shelter is out of service, you may arrange for the use
of a loaner unit, upon availability.

Today, approximately 7000 Shelters are in use within the USA. To the best of our
knowledge all ZUMRO Shelters manufactured with our Life Raft grade Neoprene are all still in
service. Some more than 18 Years.

Easiest Deployment in the Industry

>» Rapid and virtually automatic deployment. Superior airframe design allows deployment
under extreme conditions.

> Shelter may be deployed at a rate of 100 square feet per minute or faster, depending upon
which inflation method is used. One or two people can deploy a ZUMRO shelter and do
other things while it is inflating. This allows for more effective use of available personnel.

Vv

Simple deployment means less time is spent in cross-training personnel.

> During windy conditions, a ZUMRO shelter can be staked or weighted in its own footprint
before deployment. Compare this to setting up other shelters in the wind.

True “Portability”

> The best “case-to-space” ratio in the industry. The ZUMRO Model 860 occupies less than 69
cubic feet when stored in its carrying case. This same unit deploys to nearly 900 square feet
once inflated.

> The ability to move the shelter or place it over something after it has been deployed. The
base air beam that connects all the support arches ensures full structural integrity. All
Shelters can be repositioned easily after deployment.

> True “closed system” airframe does not require continuous inflation.

Versatilit
Removable floor allows unit to be placed over an incident.
Units can be linked together when ordered with the “connector panel”. The Quad “hub”
shelter also allows lateral connections as well as end to end.
Largest selection of stock colors and sizes in the industry.
Literally thousands of configurations can be customized for special applications.

Can be deployed by a portable electric inflator, $.C.B.A. bottles, compressed air tanks or
cascade systems for maximum flexibility.

ZUMRO shelters are rated for temperatures as low as -60°F to as high as 140°F. Temperature
fluctuations do not affect performance.

Unsurpassed Strength and Durability

Large diameter tapered airframe structure capable of holding tremendous loads (wind, snow,
ice, rain) even at very low air pressure. Can withstand wind gusts in excess of 60 MPH and
can be deployed during heavy rain.

Mitered intersections in arch structures for greater strength.

Full diameter integrated cross airbeams between the arches with short span for excellent
lateral stability and roof strength.

Use of Mil-Spec neoprene airframe material in accordance with MIL-I-45208. It is likely to
last a lifetime.

ZUMRO shelters have been dropped from a 100 foot ladder platform and deployed without
damage. There are no mechanical intersections or expansion systems to bend or break.
ZUMRO shelters may remain in storage for years with no deterioration.

ZUMRO decontamination shelters will withstand repeated cleaning with a 2% bleach
solution for a continuous 24 hour period. The fabric, zippers, floor, frame and stitching will
not deteriorate.

Because of the unique construction of the ZUMRO airframe, our shelters have a low
operating pressure between 3 and 4 psi. This makes field repairs possible, although rarely
necessary.

Re: Professional Services Contract with Pinnacle Advisory Group

Request
The Office of Economic Development requests the approval of the contract before you in the amount of
$15,000.00 with Pinnacle Advisory Group of Boston, Massachusetts.

Background
Please see the attached communication from Pinnacle Advisory Group dated July 23, 2018 for
information related to this purchase.

Pursuant to NRO § 5-83 Professional Services (A) In the purchase of accounting, architectural, auditing,
engineering, legal, medical and ambulance services and purchases of independent professional consultant
services for personnel, data processing, actuarial, planning, management and other comparable purchases
competitive bidding shall not be required.

Consideration was given relative to price, specific experience with similar projects and
creditability within the industry.

Pinnacle Advisory is an extremely reputable group with very select knowledge within a niche
real estate industry. A quote of $15,000 is reasonable based on past studies executed.

Purpose of Expenditure

As you may know there is a desire to bring a hotel to the downtown and we have had some
private sector interest. To better position the city a market study is needed to help guide our
decision making.
