2018 Sewer Replacement — Harvard St
Construction
To approve the construction contract for the 2018 Sewer Replacement — Harvard Street
project to Northeast Earth Mechanics of Pittsfield, NH in an amount of
$692,905.20. Funding will be through: Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund:
Wastewater; Activity: Sewer Rehab.
The contract will replace 830 feet of 12 inch unreinforced concrete main on Harvard
Street, between Allds Street and Arlington Street. This sewer was constructed before
1900 and is failing and collapsing. Deteriorated catch basins and laterals will also be
replaced as needed. Harvard Street had been previously identified as a candidate for
paving in the Paving Program and will be paved as a part of that program once the
sewer and utility work is completed.
Three bids were received on May 31 as follows:
RWC Enterprises, Nashua, NH $ 689,350.00
Northeast Earth Mechanics, Pittsfield, NH $ 692,905.20
Newport Construction, Nashua, NH $ 1,142,375.00
Although RWC was the lowest bidder, they were not able to procure the required
project bonds for performance and payment. As such, the lowest qualified bidder is
Northeast Earth Mechanics. This company has completed similar work satisfactorily
for the City.
