Amherst Street & Broad Street Sidewalk Repairs
To approve the award of a construction contract for the Amherst Street & Broad Street
Sidewalk Repairs to Leighton A. White of Milford, NH in an amount of $414,265 and
authorize use of Northwest Quadrant Trust Funds in the amount of $180,948 toward

Admin/Engineering; Fund: Trust; Account Category: 54 Property Services
The Amherst Street & Broad Street Sidewalk Repairs project involves the reconstruction
of pedestrian sidewalk ramps for ADA compliance along Amherst Street (between
Somerset Parkway and Broad Street) and Broad Street (Between Broadcrest Lane and
Amherst Street). The scheduled work for this project also includes the installation of a
new bituminous sidewalk accompanied with pedestrian crossings, approximately 300 feet
of granite curbing along the northern side of Amherst Street between the intersection of
Somerset Parkway and the Somerset Plaza Entrance. Due to the impact to the local
businesses, the traveling public and the significance of these roads being major Arterials
and heavily travelled, the contract duration of 75 working days has been established (to
substantial completion). The project is set to begin following the approval of this Board
and the Finance Committee.
This project is a critical piece of the City’s roadway construction schedule for the next
two years and also for the City’s use of 100% reimbursable Federal Funds to resurface
Broad Street, Amherst Street, Kinsley Street and Somerset Parkway. The City, with the
advisement of HSI, having only two contractors attend the pre-bid meeting and after
receiving only 1 bid for the project, would like to proceed with awarding this
construction contract to Leighton A. White as they have experience working for the City
of Nashua and are a qualified site contractor with a good reputation.
