ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
| think Mr. Cummings is here.
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Yes, thank you Mr. Mayor. For the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development.
This is essentially a maintenance landscaping contract to maintain the riverfront area. We issued an RFP last year. We
are bringing Doty Group under contract for a multi-year, three-year contract. So this will need full Board of Aldermen
approval. It’s essentially a contract for about $30,000 a month and it will be from the Veteran’s Memorial Parkway Bridge
all the way to the PanAm Pedestrian Bridge, the abutting riverfront along the area for essentially eight hours of work a
week, one day if you will, of approximately a five man crew to maintain the area and then two clean-ups - a spring and a
fall clean-up. In addition to that, there’s additional services at a charge on an hourly rate for things like graffiti removal or
other things that may be necessary along the way so we maintain the riverfront area here in Nashua. This was projected
to be a little less than $200,000. We’ve come in under that. This is all covered under the TIF funds that we have set
aside for this project.

Comments? Questions?
Alderman Comeau
Yes, thank you. Director Cummings so if | understand this correctly, this is not a one-time development of the parks in the
area. This is an ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the riverfront itself?
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Correct.
Alderman Comeau
Thank you.
