Change Order No. 2 - 2018 Sidewalk Program (Amherst Street & Broad Street
Sidewalk Repairs)
To approve Change Order No. 2 to the contract with Leighton A. White of
Milford, NH for the FY18 Sidewalk Program in the amount of $40,000. Funding
will be through Department 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Bond; Activity:
Paving.
The Amherst Street & Broad Street Sidewalk Repairs project involves the
reconstruction of pedestrian sidewalk ramps for ADA compliance along Amherst
Street (between Somerset Parkway and Broad Street) and Broad Street (Between
Broadcrest Lane and Amherst Street). Improvising these ramps is required in
order to use federal funds for the paving of Amherst Street/Somerset Parkway and
Broad Street. During the review process of the paving plans of the arterial streets
(Amherst Street, Somerset Parkway, Broad Street, and Kinsley Street), New
Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) pointed out the need to repair
additional sidewalk ramps, which are close to the project limits. Therefore,
Engineering is requesting a change order for an additional $40,000 to Leighton A-
White’s contract to cover charges associated with the new increase in work scope.
The work includes curbing, detectable warning panels, concrete and bituminous
sidewalk as well as traffic control.
