Retaining wall block
To approve Change Order #1 in the amount of $9,280.50 to Michie Corp. of
Henniker, NH for the purchase of additional retaining wall block for the
Skateboard Park project. Funding will be through Department: 161 Street; Fund:
General; Account Classification: 81 Capital Outlay/Improvemnets
Sole Source Memo and Quote
Michie Corp. is a competitive precast vendor which the City of Nashua has done
business with in the past and the City has always been satisfied with their service
and product quality. At the time of the quote, Michie was able to provide us with
the material requested without going into production as they had the wall block
already in inventory.
The reason we need to purchase more block is that the engineering and design
phase of the wall did not have a precise number of wall blocks needed to
complete the proposed wall. We needed to begin wall construction without
a final plan as the contractor is scheduled to begin their work in May.
This retaining wall block matches the Mine Falls Park entry way which was
also provided by Michie Corp.
