Re: Contract Award Legacy Playground at Labine Park (Value: $233,803)
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO D.L.
KING & ASSOCIATES IN THE AMOUNT OF $233,803. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN DEPARTMENT 177,
PARKS AND RECREATION; PRIOR YEAR ESCROWS, LABINE PARK
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson
Just for clarification, have we received the contribution from the Nashua Leadership class?
Mayor Donchess
| think where we are is that we received a check but we have been asked not to deposit it until the contract is
awarded.
Alderman Cookson
So by awarding this...doesn’t that seem a little backwards?
Mayor Donchess
Maybe | should say until the contract is approved. | think if we were to approve this contract now and we
deposit the money if the money weren’t there then we wouldn’t go ahead.
Alderman Cookson
So they were contributing what, $165,000?
