Door Upgrades Project
To approve the contract with Paxor Construction of Merrimack, NH in the amount of
$136,154.86 for the purchase/installation or repair of 21 doors at the Wastewater
Treatment Facility. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund:

Paxor Construction’s Bid
The Wastewater Facility has 12 buildings or structures each of which has many doors.
Many of these, installed between 30 to 60 years ago, are in poor condition with
considerable corrosion. A complete evaluation of all the doors in the plant was completed
and a list of doors needing replacement and/or repairs was prepared and sent to
contractors along with bidding instruction and a bid form.
The Wastewater Department sent bids to 7 contractors and an additional two other
contractors expressed interest in this project. Two bids were received for the bid opening.
The following is a summary of costs on the bids received:
Paxor Construction, LLC $136,154.86
Berkley Building Company $225,418.00
The low bidder, Paxor Construction, LLC, with a bid in the amount of $136,154.86,
appears reasonable for the scope of this project. The engineer estimate was of $118,500.
Paxor provided references who were contacted and reported they provided quality
workmanship for the doors installed. Paxor have also completed numerous door
replacement projects similar in scope to this project.
