Re: 2018 Sewer Replacement — Harvard St (Value: $692,905)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
NORTHEAST EARTH MECHANICS IN THE AMOUNT OF $692,905. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN
DEPARTMENT 169, WASTEWATER

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

We have Mr. Dookran here who is the City Engineer to answer any questions and give us a brief overview, it is
a $692,000 item, so maybe give us a brief overview on the project.

Steve Dookran, City Engineer

I'll give you, Mr. Mayor, one minute, Steve Dookran, City Engineer, this is another one of those projects where
we have to replace very old sewers in the inner city dating back as early 1900, it is unreinforced concrete. We
are lucky it has lasted that long. Just to let you know, we had put out a bigger project earlier in the year and
the bid came in, the single bid, was way too high and we couldn't afford to award it.

So what we decided to do was break up the projects into little bits and this is the second one of those little bits,
even though it is a $600,000. project. It is on Harvard Street and it is about 830 feet of pipe that we have to
replace, including all the structures, the catch basins, the manholes, those are old and deteriorated as well.
That is what this project is about.

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor, my question would be is this still like a single combination system or are we ever going
to get into splitting it where storm water won't be mixed with the sewer water anymore?

Mr. Dookran

So in this particular location in Crown Hill it is a combined sewer and we don’t have a program currently to
continue any extensive sewer separation. It is not really the City’s intention; we don’t have that in our program
budget. Our sewer separation program that started in the 90’s and went a couple years into the 2000's
became unaffordable and we went back to the EPA and renegotiated the CSO program and got ahold and this
system we have completed but we have completed.

We have heard from the EPA that they are still not satisfied because we still have CSO discharges when we
have very intense rains. We continue to work with them to figure out if there are other affordable options rather
than do separation. Separation is a very costly venture.

Alderman Caron
Thank you. | was going to ask the same question. Does this include the paving afterwards?
Mr. Dookran

This street came about because it was on the paving this and when we have the inner city streets with the old
sewers, we look at the sewer and we discovered that this sewer was in bad shape. So what this will do, it will
pay for any paving that the paving program would not have had to do. In this case, the paving program will
come back and put a finishing layer.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Could you talk about, you said you broke it up into pieces; I’m just interested in what the
other pieces and are there other 1900 year old sewers that we are going to be replacing?

Mr. Dookran

Yes typically the sewers that we find ourselves replacing are of that vintage. We have another contract where
we awarded maybe a month ago | believe it was for Kinsley Street. That work will be starting soon. So yes,
that was the first one, this is the second one and we may get in another small one to fit within the current
budget. We do have the fiscal year 19 appropriations now so we will go into that budget to start developing
sewer replacement programs.

In addition to just the replacement there are pipes that can be relined so you are not digging up the street to
that extent and you can do a lining project. So some of those in the Kinsley Street project that was awarded,
that is part lining and part excavation for replacement.

Re: 2018 Paving Program — Change Order #1 (Value: $50,000)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND APPROVE THE CHANGE
ORDER TO THE CONTRACT WITH NEWPORT CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000. SOURCE
OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 160 ADMINISTRATION/ENGINEERING; BOND

Mayor Donchess

Mr. Dookran, why don’t you explain what the change order would be?
Mr. Dookran

Yes thank you Mayor. This one has to do with the paving program and the change order is for increased
flagger rates, the money that will pay for flagging and traffic control. What happened is that when we put out
the bid, we used the cost that we had last year and that was essentially $22.00 an hour to have a flagger on-
site. As the contractor and others tried to get flaggers this year, the only companies that are giving or providing
flaggers are at a much higher, essentially around $28.50 an hour. So that is a significant increase. When we
went to the Board of Public Works it was asked if they are putting the bid at $22.00 why aren’t they sticking to
it, why can’t they just do the job for $22.00 an hour. Actually it is not a bid item it is an allowance we put in the
contract. We put so many dollars, | think we put $50,000.00 or so into the contract and so they draw from that.
So regardless of the cost they just draw down from that $50,000.00, so this change order is to add to that
allowance and therefore the contractor is not hooked to the $22.00 an hour.

Alderman Laws

Thank you for the explanation | was actually concerned when | saw this earlier because it very obviously looks
like they took $50,000.00, divided it by $28.50 dollars an hour and came up with this 170054.39 hours. | did
the math out and $28.50 is 30% more than $22.00 and then it follows time and a half, double time, same thing,
30%. So 30% of $100,000.000 which was our original allotment would have been $30,000.00 so there is
$20,000.00 more in it and | was a little concerned because | feel like we have an obligation to explain that. But
if they are drawing down from it, does that mean if they don’t spend that $50,000.00 the citizens get it back, it
goes back into our budget?

Mr. Dookran

Yes we can keep it. | didn’t say exactly why we experienced the high rates. It is because of the economy. |
guess it is tough to find qualified flaggers so they are demanding their price, | think that is what is happening

Alderman Laws

But yes it does go back into our ...

Mr. Dookran

It does go back.

Alderman Laws

Who is responsible for reporting those hours? Is it the company?
Mr. Dookran

Yes the company invoices us but we also have people in the field, inspectors, who are there to measure the
amount of work being provided by the flagging company.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

The amount is $100,000.00 just so you guys know. My question was do we have flaggers in the city you know,
do we have employees as flaggers?

Mayor Donchess

No, the answer is no. No.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright

So every time we see someone holding those flags out there they belong to some other company, they are not
city employees or anything like that?

Mayor Donchess

Correct, unless you see Police Officers, who are City employees. But when they are in that type of role, that is
a detail paid for by the private company not by the City. So on a major road, you have Police like on Concord
Street, they have some flaggers but they also have at least one Police Officer. That is like a situation where
the officer volunteers to do this in his or her off hours. It might not even be from Nashua, sometimes they can’t
find a Nashua cop who wants to the job. They get paid by the City but the City is reimbursed by the contractor
for those hours

Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| am just thinking ahead, do you think it is worth the City having those types of employees?

Mayor Donchess

Well no because it is very, very seasonal. | think it is just very involved. Then we are subject to a lot of
restrictions that we would prefer not to be subject to for temporary employees which then could become
permanent and then very involved. Anyone else? And that is an all-end rate. With the City there would be
health care, there is pensions, there is everything else. So $28.00 would become $56. No other questions or
comments?

Mr. Dookran is here to answer any questions on this item if you have them. This is just for the reconstruction
of the red listed Canal Street Bridge. It is part of the project, we have budgeted money to design an
improvement and execute a rehab of the bridge

Alderman Caron

Thank you. Is Hudson sharing some of this cost or is it just our side of the bridge?

Mayor Donchess

This is the one by BAE it’s not Hudson.

Alderman Caron

Oh it is the other one, okay. Too many bridges.

Mayor Donchess

So this is ours. This is over the Nashua River, not the Merrimack.

Mr. Dookran

We don’t want that one to fall in the red list.

gone out so this is not included in the original bid. This is for extra smoke detectors needed within the duct
work, two extra. They have to be addressable so each smoke detector has to be routed back to the fire alarm
panel at the main entrance. Because of the distance where the smoke detectors are located, the price is
elevated. But this is to meet code.

Re: Combined Sewer Overflow Flow Monitoring Program (Value: $56,100)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
FLOW ASSESSMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $56,100. SOURCE OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 169,
WASTEWATER

ON THE QUESTION

Mr. Boucher

This is a company that we want to have on board. They already have their equipment installed in all of our
combined sewer overflow locations. What this company does, is they take all the data that is collected each

month, they compile it into a report that we have to submit to the regulatory agencies. We would like to
continue with their service, we have been happy with it, for another year. This is a one year contract.

Mayor Donchess

Those reports to the EPA and DES are mandatory.
Mr. Boucher

Correct.

ON THE QUESTION

Mr. Boucher

So this is the for the purpose of piping and also for a company to come in and install the piping in one of three
of our clarifiers. So the purchase is for the piping for 3 clarifiers, but this company will install it one, show us
how it is installed and then staff will install it in the other two. We have equipment in these clarifiers that
currently doesn’t work so this is some newer technology that will work in order to remove sludge from the
bottom of the tanks and deliver it to another location at our facility.
