ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
Through the Chair | would like to ask Mr. Kooken; | looked at the contract and everything and | don’t see what
we are going to do with the old vehicles. Do we turn them in or do they go out to auction?
Mr. Kooken
| don’t know what their intentions are; | will check and get back to you.
Alderman Siegel
If they are auctioned does the money go back into the city general fund?
Mayor Donchess
The answer to that is yes.

Re: Contract Award for the Nashua Public Library West Wing Renovations (Value: $468,913)
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGELTO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
PROJECT RESOURCE GROUP IN THE AMOUNT OF $468,913. SOURCE OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT
179, NASHUA PUBLIC LIBRARY; CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND; WEST WING RENOVATIONS
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Deane
Are you carrying an only 5% contingency?
Ms. Jennifer McCormack, Director Nashua Public Library
Yes. The Board is comfortable with that because they are also carrying; it’s in the vicinity of $28,000 in
contingency from moisture mitigation that’s needed for the concrete floor.
Alderman Deane
So if the moisture issue doesn’t exist or is less costly then they plan on taking that $28,000 and what if it isn’t;
it's going to be 5%?
Ms. McCormack
Exactly and we will use those remaining funds for furnishings and fixtures.
