Re: Communication — Approval & Place on File A Contract for Professional Engineering
Services related to the Nashua Downtown Riverfront Implementation Project with H.L. Turner
Group
The Tax Increment Financing Development Program and Financing Plan adopted by the Board
through the passage of O-18 -006, states that the City Economic Development Director shall be
the Administrator of the District and shall have the power to, inter alia, “negotiate and sign,
upon the approval of the Board of Aldermen, any contracts relative to the design, engineering,
construction, or operations of any phase or component of the activities proposed under this
Plan.”
A copy of the Professional Engineering Services Contract related to the Nashua Downtown
Riverfront Implementation Project with H.L. Turner Group, Inc., along with Exhibits outlining
the scope and basis for fees as previously approved is attached. As shown the contract is the
City’s standard Professional Engineer services contract.
It was decided to break the work up into a phased approach where prior authorization for specific
tasks will be required. The first phase will be putting specific detail on the cantilevered
boardwalks and a Purchase Order will be issued for $350,000.00 to H.L. Turner for their design
services. It is anticipated that as work is completed additional authorization would occur. The
total contract is for $404,340.00 and the source of funds is the TIF account created to implement
the downtown riverfront project.
