Re: Communication — Approval & Place on File A Contract Amendment for Professional
Engineering Services related to the Nashua Downtown Riverfront Implementation Project
VHB, Inc. For Water Street Design Services
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 VHB, Inc., along with Exhibits outlining the scope and
basis for fees as previously approved is attached. As shown the contract is the City’s standard
Professional Engineer services contract.
The current contract for environmental permitting has a Purchase Order issued for $225,365.00
(P.O. 170965) to VHB for permitting. The attached contract amendment is for design services
for Water Street work. The total figure for this effort is $26.730.00. The total Purchase Order
will now read $252,095.00 once this amendment is approved. The source of funds is the TIF
account created to implement the downtown riverfront project.
Pursuant to NRO 85-91 relative to Contract Amendments and in conforming with 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 amendment of $26,730.00.
