Alderman Siegel

Roll call.
Alderman Schoneman

| would like to say that | support sending it back to committee. When | listen to Alderman Cookson read
the legislation that came out those years ago, frankly, that sounded so much more eloquent and beautiful
and encouraging about Nashua than this language that comes from WelcomingAmerica.org. | really
strongly recommend that we send it back to committee and come up with something that speaks for
Nashua itself and not something that is given to us by somebody on the outside who is giving it to us for
a reason for our endorsement. Something can happen in committee that | think could be better all
around.

President McCarthy

The legislation that Alderman Cookson was referring to was the adoption of the vision and mission
statements of the City of Nashua which have been in the ordinance books since then.

Alderman Schoneman

It sounded beautiful no matter what its source was and it still says the things that | think we want to say
for ourselves, we could reaffirm that.

Alderman Lopez
| appreciate that it sounded beautiful and | appreciate that the public taught Alderman Cookson so much

but | also think the public is very clearly signaling to us, most of it, that they are interested in this
particular wording in the resolution tonight.

President McCarthy

Is there any further discussion on the motion to re-refer?

A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:

Yea: Alderman Deane, Alderman Cookson, Alderman Siegel, 7
Alderman Schoneman, Alderman McGuinness, Alderman LeBrun,
Alderman Moriarty

Nay: Alderman Wilshire, Alderman Clemons, Alderman Dowd, 8
Alderman Caron, Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja, Alderman O’Brien,
Alderman Lopez, Alderman McCarthy

MOTION FAILED

President McCarthy

The motion now is to amend.

Alderman Siegel

So now we get to just have a committee meeting at the full Board level. So now would be the time |
suppose to raise some of my objections. So, how many of you know what a 990 is? It’s a tax return by a

Rail Trail Lighting

To approve the vendor contract for the purchase of lights and poles for the Nashua
Heritage Rail Trail to Consolidated Electrical Distributors Inc. of Manchester, NH
for the amount of $87,288.00. Funding will be through Department 177 Parks &
Rec; Fund: CIP; Activity: Rail Trail Lighting.

Approximately three years ago, the City of Nashua installed 32 solar-powered
lights approximately 13 ft high along Nashua Heritage Rail Trail between Main St
and Eaton St. Many of these lights and poles have been severely vandalized and it
has been determined that the lighting levels produced by these systems may not
have been adequate or reliable at certain times. The City proposes to replace the
existing lights with more durable and reliable system consists of pole-mounted
LED luminaries wired overhead. This new lighting system will completely
replace the existing solar lighting along the trail between Main St. and Eaton St.

The LED luminaries will be the same luminaries, King Luminaire LED Pendant
60 Watt, used on the recent Main Street Sidewalk Improvements project. The
King Luminaires are aesthetically pleasing and have performed well. The light
poles will be pre-stressed concrete poles. The concrete poles will be painted black
and are aesthetically pleasing. They are easy to install and have a long service life
as they are resistant to freeze-thaw effects and corrosion. The lighting system will
be powered with electricity provided by the public utility, Eversource.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was emailed to four vendors and posted on the
City’s website on July 8, 2016 for the supply of lighting assemblies including
LED luminaires, concrete poles and appropriate mast arms for the project. Two
proposals were received on July 22, 2016, from the following vendors:

Rockingham Electrical Supply Co Inc. of Newington, NH $86,448.98
Consolidated Electrical Distributors Inc. (CED) of Manchester, NH $87,288.00

Neither vendor prepared their proposal in full accordance with the RFP, in
particular, the photometric plan for this project to demonstrate adequate
pedestrian illumination and spill control. When communicating with the vendors,
CED was more responsive to all the City’s questions and requirements and agreed
to provide the photometric plan at no additional cost. Whereas, according to
Rockingham Electrical Engineering, there will be an additional fee to prepare the
photometric plan. At this point Rockingham Electrical has not provided the fee
but Engineering estimates it at about $1,200.00. Therefore, Engineering is

requesting approval to award the project to CED of Manchester, NH. CED’s bid
of $87,288.00 is 1% over the $86,448.98 lowest bid.

The need to contract with the vendor soon is due to an ordering time expected to
be approximately eight weeks. A separate contract for the installation and wiring
will be developed and issued to start work when the lighting assemblies are
delivered.
