A review committee of 4 City staff (2 from Community Development and 2 from DPW)
reviewed the proposals and evaluated them based on the following criteria: 1. Prior relevant
experience, 2. Proposed project approach, 3. Cost, and 4. References, reputation, and
performance of prior work for the City of Nashua. Stantec was chosen unanimously mainly for
their vast experience with similar projects as a contractor for NH Fish and Game.
However, the proposed scope by Stantec did not include the access road or an Alteration of
Terrain Permit. We asked Stantec to revise their scope and fee to include these items. The new
proposed cost was $89,597.25. In order to reduce the cost to the project, it was decided that
DPW would do the design, surveying, and engineering for the new access road. Stantec therefore
removed these items from their scope but will complete the Alteration of Terrain permit and
coordination with DPW to integrate the access road work into the permitting and plans for the
project. The final proposed cost for this contract is $79,984.01.
The Community Development Division recommends awarding the contract for engineering
services for improvements to the Greeley Park Boat ramp to Stantec Consulting Services in the
amount of $79,984.01.
