Parks and Recreation Department
Greeley Park Boat Ramp
To approve a contract with Northeast Earth Mechanics of Pittsfield, NH for the
construction of the Greeley Park Boat Ramp in the amount of $419,495. Funding will
be through Department: Department 184 Community Development; Fund: Grant;
Activity: Greeley Park Boat Ramp Improvements.
This project will reconstruct the small, aging boat ramp on the Merrimack River in the
back of Greeley Park and will include a larger concrete boat ramp. There will also be a
significantly expanded parking area, and a new more direct access road to the ramp (to
be built by DPW forces). Projected project completion date is July 2020,
The project was advertised on August 22, 2019. A prebid meeting was held on
September 3, 2019. Five contractors submitted qualified bids on September 19, 2019.
The bids are as follows:
Firm Bid
NE Earth Mechanics $741,893
Charter $910,660
Berkely $1,093,733
Hansen $1,153,415
ACK Marine $1,230, 860
The bids were reviewed and Northeast Earth Mechanics is the recommended qualified,
law bidder. The bid came in over the budgeted amount of $450,000. The scope of the
project was reduced and the key components were negotiated with the vendor. The
DPW will be assisting with some of the tasks in order to have the project come in on
budget. The one component that will be phased in at a later time once funding will
become available will be the assessable boat loading ramp designed ta load those with
mobility issues into a boat before it is launched. The recommendation of the Division is
to award the contract to Northeast Earth Mechanics.
