Re: McFarland Johnson contract amendment for Park and Ride project engineering
In June 2016, the City entered into a contract for engineering services with McFarland Johnson
for the Park and Ride project located at 25 Crown Street. This project is entirely funded by a NH
Department of Transportation grant.
During recent geotechnical work at the site required to plan and design stormwater management
for the project, elevated levels of a contaminant were found in one of the groundwater wells
sampled. This finding requires further investigation and notification to NH Department of
Environmental Services. Because this work was not planned within the scope of the project, a
contract amendment was necessary. The needed scope of work will be completed by sub-
contractor SanbornHead for the amount of $6,500 paid by the grant. Any additional groundwater
sampling or monitoring required during the construction of the project will be incorporated into
the construction budget.
