Re: Contract Award for Professional Engineering Services related to the Nashua Downtown
Riverfront Implementation Project to Hayner/Swanson, Inc.
The Tax Increment Financing Development Program and Financing Plan adopted by the Board
through the passage of O-18 -006, states that the City Economic Development Director shall be
the Administrator of the District and shall have the power to, inter alia, “negotiate and sign,
upon the approval of the Board of Aldermen, any contracts relative to the design, engineering,
construction, or operations of any phase or component of the activities proposed under this
Plan.”
A copy of the Professional Engineering Services Contract related to the Nashua Downtown
Riverfront Implementation Project with Hayner/Swanson, Inc., along with Exhibits B outlining
the scope and basis for fees, is attached. The contract is the City’s standard Professional
Engineer services contract.
The contract is under the $25,000 threshold for Finance Committee approval and, therefore, was
not sent to the Finance Committee.
Pursuant to the Tax Increment Financing Development Program and Financing Plan, I am
requesting the approval of the Board of Aldermen for the award of the attached contract.
