Re: McFarland Johnson contract amendment #3 for 25 Crown Street Park and Ride project
In accordance with O-14-011, communication of amendments to contracts, this memo is to inform
the Finance Committee of a subsequent change to the McFarland Johnson contract. A previous
contract amendment with McFarland Johnson in the amount of $169,229.11 was approved by
Finance Committee on May 17, 2017.
As part of the construction activities for the Park and Ride at 25 Crown Street, it is necessary to
decommission 3 monitoring wells and modify another 2 monitoring wells. This work was originally
planned to be performed under the construction contract with George Cairns and Sons Inc. (Cairns)
however, they were having trouble finding a sub-contractor to complete these tasks. Cairns
requested that McFarland Johnson, who is doing the construction engineering for this project, take
on these tasks under their contract.
This new contract amendment adds this scope of work to the McFarland Johnson contract for a
sum of $3,176.75, bringing the total approved contract to $377,180.59. These funds are budgeted
as part of the construction budget and are covered by State and Federal funds from a NH DOT
Congestion Mitigation Air Quality grant.
