City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: February 29, 2016
David A. Simmons, Superintendent
Wastewater Department
Installation of Flow Meter
To approve the installation of a mag flow meter in the wet weather facility at the
Wastewater Treatment Facility to Methuen Construction of Salem, NH in amount of
$15,860. Funding will be through: Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: WERF; Account
Classification: 81 Buildings & Improvements.
Methuen Construction Corporation Bid
The flow meter for the wet weather facility has failed. This meter has electrodes built into
a 36-inch ductile iron flange section of the pipe. Both the meter and the flange have to be
replaced. Since this flange is a large, heavy 36-inch section of ductile iron pipe it is a
difficult and labor intensive operation to remove and replace it. The flow meter was
previously purchased by the Wastewater Plant and is on WERF list (Asset ID: WW-
INST).
Bids were sought from 4 contractors that have completed recent project at the wastewater
facility. Out of the four, three of them submitted bids, as follows:
Penta Corp Moultonboro, NH $28,620
Weston & Sampson Andover, MA $21,500
Methuen Construction Salem, NH $15,860
The low bidder, Methuen Construction Corporation, was the contractor at the plant for
the Wet Weather Facility and the CSO14 project. They are a reputable contractor and
are very knowledgeable in all plant related construction activities. They have provided
quality construction work on these projects for the City and are well qualified for this
work.
