ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Siegel

Why did we have to approve a tariff which we have no authority over? I’m confused. There’s no dollar amount
and there’s no flexibility one way or the other.

Mayor Donchess
| think Eversource wanted an approval.
Mr. Kooken

We went to legal and they suggested that it would be a good idea to bring it before the committee since it is
tied loosely with the LED lighting project.

Mayor Donchess
The tariff is the set of regulations issued by the state PUC concerning street lighting.

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Siegel

There were nine vendors solicited and only one responded, Morin’s. That’s unusual, do you know why?

Mr. Kooken

| don’t know if it’s because everybody is so busy. It’s a pretty short job once they get it started, like a couple of
days.

Alderman Siegel

But that’s not usual.

Mr. Kooken

We've had a lot of problems with getting people to bid on the crosswalk work.

Alderman Siegel

Is that because of the nature of the job or the nature of the purchaser?

Mr. Kooken

| think it’s the nature of the job.

Mayor Donchess

The person that could explain this best is Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works and she is on vacation this
week. We could wait for a full explanation Alderman Siegel.

Alderman Siegel

No, we have a sole bidder and we don’t want our sole bidder not to do it.

The original contract was for a little over $5,000 for the exact same thing and now we’ve tacked on $12,000;
what’s changed?

Mayor Donchess

They are coming forward with a significant written report that will not only explain the criteria by which they
have evaluated all of the streets but will list the streets and each street and what condition it is in and make
recommendations which will all be presented in a single report. This addition was necessary for the
preparation of this written report which everyone on the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Public Works will
get a copy of.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Caron
| Know that we’ve spent a lot of money at the wastewater treatment plant but | am happy that we are continuing

to move and make sure that everything is up and running because that is a very important facility for the City of
Nashua.

Alderman Siegel

We started with the core of the wastewater treatment plant and now we are expanding outward with the
addition of the SCADA system which is a data analysis gathering tool. We are going to want to know what the
status is of our sewer lines are. We do appreciate the hard work of the folks at our DPW.

Ms. Marchant

These are the transit systems revenue contracts. The ones for Rivier, DWC and Nashua Community College
are pre-paid for the year ahead based on last year’s numbers for their students’ ridership. Hudson and
Merrimack are original partners from when the service started, we provided para-transit services for those two
communities, the same as Souhegan Valley Transportation which is the western communities and the Plus
Company is also another contract we enter into for regular transportation services. We group them all together
and it’s all revenue.

Re: Emergency Replacement of 60 Ton Condensing Unit at Nashua Public Library

Pursuant to 5-90 (G) of the NRO, | have authorized emergency replacement of the failed 2003 condensing
unit at the Nashua Public Library. Replacement will be performed by Palmer & Sicard, Inc. of Exeter, NH in
an amount of $46,075. Palmer & Sicard is under contract with Nashua Public Library for HVAC maintenance
and repair.

By way of background, the unit failed on July 1, 2016. A Palmer & Sicard technician was called and upon
inspection of the unit the following was found. Stage 1 compressor had tripped the breaker. Attempts to
start it failed. It is bound up internally and will need to be replaced. They also discovered that the unit lost
all of its oil and refrigerant due to a broken capillary tube on the oil compressor control. Compressors 1 and
2 are hooked up in tandem. This failure has also contaminated the stage 2 compressor. The oil control
would also need to be replaced. Repair is estimated in the $16,500 to $20,000 range. Due to the age of this
unit our recommendation is to replace it.

The initial lead time for replacement was quoted as 6 weeks but Palmer & Sicard has since confirmed that
they can have a new Carrier 38AH-064—6 60 Ton R22 460V 3 Phase condenser with low ambient kit in 7-10
days. The timing of the work is critical since we are in the hottest season and customers, staff and library
materials will be affected until this repair has been completed. Since the existing unit is not working Palmer
& Sicard can begin removal and prep for installation of the new compressor as soon as a contract is signed.

Attached is a quote from Palmer & Sicard for purchase and installation of a replacement unit. Funds are
available in General Fund, Escrow Funds, Major Capital Outlays/Improvements. This was set up specifically
to fund the cost of AC Equipment at Nashua Public Library based on age and repair frequency of the
equipment.

Thank you,
