Granite Curbing at Crosswalks and Median Islands

Blocks 3 and 4 to Granite State Curbing Setters, Inc. of Suncook, NH in an amount of
$16,120. Funding will be through: Department: 161 Street; Fund: General; Activity
Description: Main Street.

As part of the Main Street Sidewalk Improvements project, mid-block crosswalks will be
improved at locations near the intersection of High Street on Block 3 and near the
intersection of Eldridge Street on Block 4. This contract is for the addition of granite
curb to outline the proposed brick crosswalks and also granite curbing at the median
islands so they will be similar in appearance to mid-block crosswalks located at the Main
Street Bridge and near 100 Main Street. The new crosswalks will provide a uniform look
and add to the aesthetics of downtown.

The project was advertised on May 9, 2016 and posted to the web site. Six companies
were solicited by email. Granite State Curbing Setter, Inc. of Suncook, NH was the only
bidder, submitting a price of $16,120.

The price submitted by Granite State is reasonable and consistent with the estimates
developed by the Engineering Department.
