Re: Emergency PO Request — Emergency Sewer Repair at 38 Bridge Street
Pursuant to 5-90 (G) of the NRO, | have authorized an Emergency Purchase Order to W. F. Grace
Construction, LLC for an amount not to exceed $35,000.
By way of background, a 15” sewer pipe installed in 1887 through property owned by Liberty
Utilities in the Bridge Street area has collapsed causing a significant sinkhole on the property. This
sewer serves the neighborhood consisting of Van Buren Street, Warren Street, Jackson Street and
a short section of Bridge Street.
The site is listed by the NHDES as contaminated and special precautions are
necessary to conduct the work. Liberty Utilities is assisting the City to have the
repairs made promptly.
Included is a copy of the vendor’s insurance certificate and a memo from Steve
Dookran, P.E., City Engineering explaining the need for this work which if
approved, is planned for Saturday, February 3, 2018.
Thank you,
