Engineering Department
Pavement Management
Engineering Services
To approve the engineering services contract with Hayner/Swanson. Inc. of Nashua,
NH in the amount of $328,675 for the management and construction administration
of the paving program. Funding is contingent upon the approval of the bonds that
will be funding the multi-year paving project. Department: 160 Admin/Engineering;
Fund: Bond; Activity: Paving.
HSI Proposal
This year, Public Works has taken on a very extensive paving program that includes a
$6.7 Million contract with Newport Construction. $1.1 Million for Brox to pave
streets from last year. $4.4 Million of Federal Highway funds to pave some arterials,
as well as micro surfacing and crack sealing contracts.
A professional services contract which Hayner Swanson (HSI) is necessary to assist
City Engineering staff with the overall management, coordination, construction
administration and observation. The effort in construction coordination is significant
given that there will be multiple crews in several locations at the same time.
HSI’s contract includes preparing for next year’s (2019) paving program, street
selection and evaluating coordination with utilities and preparing plans and bid
documents. This contract will run from July 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019 at which time,
we expect to be awarding the 2019 construction contract. More details of HSI’s
services are in their proposal (attached). DPW continues to recommend HSI for these
types of services because of their experience, their attention to cost control and their
responsiveness to the City’s needs.
