Change Order 1
To approve Change Order No. 1 of the engineering contract with Hayner/Swanson, Inc.
of Nashua, NH in the amount of $40,000. Funding will be through multi-year paving
project. Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Bond; Activity: Paving
The Engineering Department is getting ready to execute a contract using federal funds in
amount of $4.5 million to pave Somerset Parkway and portions of Amherst Street, Broad
Street and Kinsley Street. These funds are available through repurposed Broad Street
Parkway funds. This project is in addition to the annual Paving Program and requires
expertise and additional man-hours beyond the limits of the Engineering Department. For
these reasons, the contract of Hayner/Swanson, Inc. (HSI) who is the consultant to the
Paving Program and experienced in this field should be extended.
In order to gain approval from NHDOT and the Federal Highway Administration for
advertisement of this contract, significant work must be performed to demonstrate that
access and federal right-of-way requirements have been met. In providing services in
support of this effort, HSI staff will work closely with City staff in an integrated work
effort.
It is anticipated that HSI will undertake following tasks:
e Review of existing conditions with respect to ADA compliance of pedestrian ramps
within project limits,
e Review of constraints including identification of possible right-of-way issues,
Coordination with City staff and NHDOT,
*° Participation in developing details for reconstruction of noncompliant pedestrian
ramps, and
e Assistance in preparation of contract documents.
HSI has worked with City of Nashua over the last six months on the Paving Program
assisting with the completion of thirteen streets. HSI is local and continues to be very
responsive to the City’s needs.
