Pennichuck Schooi Pedestrian Bridge Construction

To award the construction contract for repairs of the Henri Burque Pedestrian Bridge to
R.M. Piper, Inc. of Plymouth, NH in the amount not to exceed $162,000. Funding will
be through Department 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: General; Activity: Bridge
Rehabilitation Program.

The Henri Burque Pedestrian Bridge provides connectivity from the Pennichuck Middle
School to surrounding neighborhoods. Routine inspections by the NHDOT stated the
deck has a rating of 6 (satisfactory) and the superstructure has a rating of 7 (good).
However, the substructure has a rating of 3 (serious) primarily due to the deterioration
of the pier caps at the point where it sustains the bridge bearing pads over which the
steel superstructure rests. CLD Consulting Engineers designed the repairs and prepared
the bid package for construction. Work includes concrete repairs on the pier and
decking on the school side and replacement of the deteriorated curbing on the west side.

The construction package for the repairs was advertised on March 24, 2017. One bid
was received on April 13, 2017 by R.M. Piper, Inc. of Plymouth, NH. The bid result
was greater than available funding so the package was not able to be brought forward
to the April BPW

In June, Engineering together with CLD and R.M. Piper met at the site and reviewed
again the scope of work and how it can be performed. Engineering then engaged in
negotiations with R.M. Piper. Negotiations resulted in a price not to exceed $162,000,
which is within budget. The work is scheduled to be completed during the 2017
construction season.
