Electrical Systems

The existing electrical service is 2000 ampere, 277/480V, three phase, four wire main service
that terminates in an (3) section Main Switchboard located in the basement. The switchboard is
a GE Spectra Series and appears to have available physical space for additional of any required
circuit breakers as part of the HVAC upgrade.

The service is fed from a utility pad mounted transformer located at the rear of the building.
Adjacent to the pad mounted transformer is exterior mounted electrical gear and a 250KW
diesel generator. The generator is rated at 376Amps @ 480V, 3P.

The data provide by Eversource notes the existing demand on the facility is approximately
242KW and an equivalent to 291Amps @ 480V, 3P.

Panelboards are installed throughout the facility in various mechanical and utility rooms with
step down transformers. These panelboards may be utilized for the HVAC renovation project

RE: Amendment to Public Health Building Construction Contract of $150,000 for

unanticipated expenses.

In the summer of 2020 the Finance committee approved a contract with Martini Northern in the amount

I am seeking approval for an additional $150,000 for various cost(s) associated with the project that were
not anticipated, but are necessary to close out the project. This money is available and was part of the
overall project budget through the owner’s contingency, but not included in the original construction
contract figure. The overall project and the bond authorization always conceived of a $3.6M project and
this project should come in under budget and on time.

Itemized Justification

Fires Escape Repair/Recertification $55,000.00
Building Exterior Lights $15,000.00
Landscaping $25,000.00
Pressure Wash the Exterior $ 6,000.00
Security Cameras $ 6,000.00
Signage $ 5,000.00

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Now is it Julie or Tim who is here on this?

Julie Chizmas

| am here Mayor.

Mayor Donchess

OK Julie Chizmas, please go ahead.
Ms. Chizmas

Hi, thank you so much for having us on your agenda tonight. | am here to discuss the contract of the Mill Yard
Dog Park feasibility study. | siton the Animal & Dog Park Advisory Committee, Alderwoman Klee also sits on
that Committee, who is here with us this evening. This study is a result of the efforts of that Committee to find
a location to construct and operate a downtown dog park. We have identified a lot, Lot 77-5 and just want to

know if this is feasible from an environmental point of view, an operations point of view, funding point of view.
So that’s why we are here this evening.

Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee

Thank you Mr. Mayor. | do want to add to this, it says it includes the cost of the private utility locator and Ms.
Chizmas if | am wrong on this, please feel free to correct me. But the reason for that was because there is a
large, | don’t want to call it a utility pole, but it is for one of the radio stations. And underneath the ground is a
gridwork of wiring. What this will do is it will tell us exactly where their wiring is so that if we do put up a fence,
we miss all of that. We don’t disconnect them, we don’t put anybody into harm’s way. It will also tell us how
far down that is so that if a dog were to dig, because this grid does go quite a distance out. So all Ms. Chizmas
has done all of her homework incredibly so, as usual, and it is amazing to find out all the different things. But
this is also very — a flood plain area — | think is what it is called. So we are going to check the feasibility as to
whether or not this would be able to be used all year round. Are there going to be certain limitations to it. And
we don’t want to hurt the environment because it does go along the Nashua River there and so on. So that’s
what this feasibility study will do, not just can we put it there and will everybody be happy, but whether or not
the ground can take it, what we would have to do in order to make it feasible or to be able to work and so on.
Do | have that correct, Ms. Chizmas?

Finance Committee - 04/21/2021 Page 4
Ms. Chizmas

Yes, we just want to make sure that whatever we do we can be successful, serving the community. This
location is perfect, it is right near Mine Falls Park, its right near Tree Streets neighborhood, very accessible

from downtown, so it has got a great location. We just need to make sure we can do it successfully; have a
dog park there.

Alderman Klee

And if | may just add one more thing Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Donchess

Yes, please.

Alderman Klee

The “ad packers” as they are called, the Animal Dog Park & Advisory Committee, looked at a number of
different sites. And while maybe they felt one was a little bit better, this one was actually the best as far as to
fill the needs of the City, especially those downtown who have less land to be able to let their dogs out so they
are going to be walking. It’s at the mouth, one of the entrances of Mine Falls which makes it wonderful because
people can take their dogs for a walk, they can let them run free, which we don’t want them doing in Mine Falls.

So it’s just a win-win for everything, the location is just a great location. Parking is good; it’s just — | think as
long as the ground can handle us, | think it would be a great location. So thank you.

Mayor Donchess
Anyone else?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Yes?

Mayor Donchess
Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor. | do have a question part of this money will that also look at the besides the radio
antenna just to make sure that this area is not part of a brown field, with the past history of the Mill Yard.

Ms. Chizmas

Yeah they will conducting existing conditions, not just what is there now but what has happened in the past.
So they will be looking into the history of the property and whether or not this is a good use for it.

Alderman O’Brien
Thank you.

Mayor Donchess

| saw, | believe Alderman Harriott-Gathright.

Finance Committee - 04/21/2021 Page 5

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| just have a question actually because as | was reading this (phone ringing) and | am sorry | don’t know how to
turn my phone off, so it'll be ringing in the background. Is 4.75 acres of land, is this land that cannot be
developed like say for housing? Because | am not familiar with that area so | am just asking because we have
such an issue here.

Ms. Chizmas
Sure it currently is not considered suitable for housing. It is in a wet area, flood plain, so its uses for
commercial or housing residential is somewhat limited; definitely limited, | shouldn’t say “somewhat” it is

limited. Tim I’ve seen you’ve turned on, do you want to speak to that, | Know you have looked at this as well.

Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development

| have.

Mayor Donchess

| think we have new developments from today on this subject, so please Director Cummings, go ahead.

Director Cummings

Yes. So just first to the question at hand. It is not only within the “flood plain” it is at a higher degree of
environmental sensitivity. It is referred to as the “flood way”. So that is another categorization that makes it
even harder to do any sort of development or penetration into the wetlands. So | just want to make sure folks
are aware of that. And then Mayor, did you suggest that | continue on with the developments of today?

Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Director Cummings

OK and as the Mayor alluded to, earlier today | delivered to him some good news. | was able to successfully
negotiate a P&S on the land and it was approved by the Mill Yard Associates that owns the piece of property. It
is subject to approval by the Board of Aldermen so Legislation will be forthcoming to you in speaking with the
Deputy Corporation Counsel Leonard earlier today, it sounds like we would be looking to file it for the first
meeting in May. But we are going to try to get it closed; we have a closing date of June 30" of 2021. So we
hopefully will have the property tied up in short order for folks to be able to use as they wish.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Mr. Mayor, | do have a question through you.
Mayor Donchess
Alderman Harriott-Gathright.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Ok did you say flood wet — w-e-t.
