Limits of paving — table and map
To approve the construction contract for the 2018 Federal Paving Program [paving of
Amherst St. (Rt. 101A), Somerset Parkway, Broad St. (Rt. 130) and Kinsley St (Rt. 111]
to Newport Construction Corp. of Nashua, NH in the amount of $3,987,518.90. Funding
will be through: Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Grant; Activity: NHDOT
Nashua Roadway Improvements.
The Engineering Dept. successfully received approval from the NHDOT and FHWA to
repurpose approximately $4.5 million of federal money that was earmarked for the Broad
Street Parkway project to pave four City-maintained State highways, which include
portions of Amherst St. (Rt. 101A), Somerset Parkway, Broad St. (Rt. 130) and Kinsley St
(Rt. 111), the limits of which are shown on the attached map. Approximately, 5 miles of
multilane, heavily traveled roadway will be paved through this project. The work also
includes replacing obsolete and broken drainage and sewer castings. This work is
expected to begin this year and completed in the summer of 2019.
Using federal money for a paving contract includes the requirement that existing
sidewalks along the paving route be handicap accessible according to the American
Disabilities Act (ADA). A sidewalk improvement contract is under construction to ensure
that this requirement is satisfied.
The contract was advertised on June 22, 2018. Two contractors attended the non-
mandatory pre-bid meeting. Three contractors submitted bids on July 19, 2018 and are
listed below:
Pike Industries, Belmont, NH $ 4,739,511.05
Brox Industries, Inc., Dracut, MA $ 4,385,427.60
Newport Construction Corp., Nashua, NH = $ 3,987,518.90
Newport Construction Corporation of Nashua, NH at a bid price of $ 3,987,518.90 is the
qualified low bidder. Since this contract is using federal dollars, this contract award also
needs final approval from NHDOT and FHWA. Newport is currently working on the 2018
Paving Program. This
