Re: Contract Amendment for GPI Engineering Oversight for the Transit Center Retrofit

Project

NTS requests the Finance Committee to approve a contract amendment with GPI (Greenman-
Pedersen, Inc.) in the amount of $116,866.69 and a contract extension date from March 2022 to
June 30, 2022.

The current contract dated May 5, 2021 in the amount of $120,000 between GPI and the City of
Nashua includes resident engineering, construction administration services and architectural
support and inspection the Transit Center Retrofit Project located at 30 Elm St., Nashua,

NH. The current contract provided construction phase services for a 17-week time-period which
anticipated construction to be completed and project close out by December 2021. The Transit
Center Retrofit Project is extended due to unforeseen delays until May 31, 2022; therefore, the
GPI contract will require an amendment through June 30, 2022 in the amount of $116,866.69 for
resident engineering, construction administration services and architectural support and
inspection.

The contract amendment is based on the current construction schedule provided by the
contractor, D.L. King & Associates, Inc. Work on the inside of the building is scheduled through
February 2022 due to long lead items and supply chain delays. The schedule estimates exterior
construction activities through December 2021, and resuming April 1, 2022 through May 31,
2022. It is expected that GPI close-out documentation will be performed in June of 2022.

Caron that they could not join us this evening. As is customary, | will turn over the meeting to the Chairman
of the Planning & Economic Development Committee Alderman Tencza.

Alderman Tencza

Thank you, Madam President. The purpose of tonight's Special Board of Aldermen Meeting is to hold a
Public Hearing on two pieces of Legislation. The first is O-20-01, Amending the Zoning Map by Rezoning
Land off of Tinker Road from rural residence (R-40) to “B” Suburban Residence (R-18) and O-20-013,
Amending the Zoning Map by Rezoning Land off of Amherst Street from Park Industrial to Industrial with
Mixed Use Overlay District. | notice that Attorney Prunier is joining us tonight. Attorney Prunier will you be
presenting on both of these Ordinances or someone else.

Attorney Gerry Prunier

Both of the Ordinances | will be presenting. | am here at the office alone.
Chairman Tencza

Ok, could we have you just describe both Ordinances and then we will do the Public Hearings separate
from each.

Attorney Prunier

Let me take the first one which is the one off of Amherst Street which is a continuation of the Ordinance
that was passed back over a year ago, they zoned this area, Park Industrial MU. They, at that time, should
have gone further, they only went up to Deerwood Drive they should have gone all the way to State Street.
The properties that are in-between Dumaine Avenue and State Street that are all in the same area, the
same type probably and they are the same type they want to be developed according to the types that
have. The PU, El, MU classification allows the developer to use the property and the people that own the
property in good fashion and allows the City to help build this, the City is involved in the zoning when it
comes up to the Planning Board. So it just a continuation. It’s the same type zone and it would continue
the same type zoning for the people in that particular area.

The one off of Tinker Road is surrounded by various zoning classifications from Park Industrial R-18, R-C,
R-9 and so forth. Usually the R-40 is used when there is no water or sewage because they need a large lot
in order to put a septic take and put a well. At this point, the water and sewer is at the site and that’s why it
is being proposed to deliver it to or to zone it R-18.

Both of these Ordinances were discussed with Sarah Marchant, with the Planning Staff, and at the
Planning Board and all are in favor, as far as | know.

Alderman Tencza
Thank you, Attorney Prunier. Does anyone have questions for Attorney Prunier? Alderman Clemons.
Alderman Clemons

Thank you. Are these changes being proposed because of potential future development in that area?
