City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: May 25, 2022
Daniel Hudson, P.E., City Engineer
Engineering Department
Pavement Management Support Services
To approve the engineering contract for pavement management services with
Stantec Consulting Service, Inc. of Burlington, MA in an amount not to exceed
$31,700. Funding will be through Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund:
Bond; Activity: Paving.
The City has contracted with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. since 2016 to
provide assistance in evaluating the pavement condition of our 300 mile road
network and to make recommendations on rehabilitation and preservation methods.
Using their expertise, Stantec has provided assistance in developing the necessary
protocols for preventative maintenance, including updating costs and decision trees
for selecting prioritized lists of roadways to pave. This request is for $31,700 to
survey 33 percent of the City’s roadway network.
Last year Stantec satisfactorily performed a condition survey of the northern-third
of the City, this year it is proposed to survey the southern-third. Stantec will
continue to use Cartegraph’s pavement condition assessment software while
evaluating approximately 101 miles of roadway, and updating the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) rating for each road segment. This information enables the
City to assess the paving program’s performance over time, monitor conditions,
and select appropriate treatments in an objective and transparent way.
