Re: 14 Court Street Fire Bay Door Replacement (Value: $51,189)
ACTIVITY: 8400.18.40.409 ACCOUNT CATEGORY: 69010
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT: COURT STREET PUBLIC FACILITY IMPVT’
The City is an Entitlement community, meaning we receive an annual allocation from HUD under the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The goals and priorities for community needs are detailed in
the five-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans. These Plans were developed following our
approved Citizen Participation Plan, which includes obtaining public input and meetings. Each year the
Human Affairs Committee evaluate proposals and recommend which activities to fund. The BOA approved
the FY18 activities in R-17-095, including rehab of the 14 Court Street Fire Station. CDBG funds may be
used to correct code/safety issues in publically owned buildings, especially those that are historic in nature.
The Urban Programs Department, in partnership with the Office of Economic Development, obtained sealed
bids to replace the existing glass doors/glazing with operable doors to meet current code standards ‘for
occupancy. Two bids were received in the amount of $57,500 and $51,189, both subject to Davis Bacon
wage requirements. The Contractor recommended herein specializes in custom glass projects and has the
experience needed to carry out the contract in a timely manner.
The Urban Programs Department, Office of Economic Development and this Office recommend awarding the
contracts in a sum not-to-exceed (NTE) $51,189 to Nashua Glass. The source of funding will be the CDBG
grant, and will be monitored for compliance with related federal regulations through the Urban Programs
Department.
