ON THE QUESTION
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Dan Hudson, City Engineer. So this is a project we have currently underway. Its rehabilitation
that will connect the (inaudible) bridge. The Canal Street Bridge is on the DOT red list due to some structural issues
underneath. There’s concrete that has deteriorated and is falling so it needs to be basically chipped out and replaced.
When we originally bid this project, the water was up and you couldn't see all of the area. Also since we bid this out,
there's been additional deterioration. This contract (inaudible) is to increase the quantity of the concrete repair work that's
necessary to repair this to the point that we believe it will be able to be brought off the DOT red list.

ON THE QUESTION
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Good evening. Kim Kleiner, Director of Administrative Services. So we addressed this a little bit during our budget when
we came to you for the GIS Department. The City of Nashua and Pennichuck Corp. have had an agreement for over the
last two renewals each three years each to split the cost of our GIS as a renewal. The contract has generally caused for
the initial license to be $50,000 a year and we've split that.
This year we were alerted sometime back in May that that cost would be increasing and it increased to a little over
$64,000. Additionally, the city required a couple of new licenses for ongoing work that we were doing with CDM Smith for
our new viewer and also for work that we are doing with the Assessing Department. So there were two new licenses that
totaled $6,000 a year. Pennichuck required another license for some work that they are doing, which came to $5,500. So
we entered into conversations with Pennichuck how best to address this. Decided the fee structure that we would work
out so that they are absorbing some of the increase and the city is absorbing some of the increase. So for the city, it'll be
$38,436 a year for three years.
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor and thank you Director Kleiner. You know | sent you messages over the weekend about the GIS
system. So you know that | use it pretty regularly. We just did an upgrade to the GIS. Does this maintenance also
include that newest upgrade or upgrade separate from our maintenance contracts?
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Great question. So these licenses do include the upgrades. These are upgraded licenses. If you've been on GIS, and |
know Alderwoman Klee has, in the past couple of days we've been struggling and the site has been down. That's
because they're working with ESRI to update these new licenses and apply that. One of the best benefits of ESRI is we
really have between our IT Department and also Pennichuck Corporation’s IT Department, we really have 24/7 access to
customer support, maintenance support, and they've been working with us to get the new licenses installed on our
servers. Of course, we just upgraded our server for GIS. Pam Andruskevich our GIS Technician has done wonderful
work. We're also right now programming the revaluation site. So there's a lot going on. | spoke with Mr. Miseirvitch this
afternoon and he thought he'd have it all up and running by morning.
Alderman Klee
Thank you so much and I'll try not to bother you as much.
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
