City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Mecting Date: February 28, 2019
Stephen Dookran, P.E., City Engineer
Engineering Department
Pavement Management Engineering Services - Hayner/Swanson, Inc.
To approve the engineering services contract with Hayner/Swanson. Inc. (HSI) of
Nashua, NH in the amount of $462,435 for the management and construction
administration of the paving program. Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund:
Bond; Activity: Paving.
HSI Proposal (dated February 12, 2019)
This year, Public Works has taken on a very extensive paving program which
includes a $6.85 Million contract with Brox Industries to pave Major and Arterial
Roads, and a $4.35 Million contract with Sunshine Paving to pave Local and
Collector Roads. In addition to the new contracts there are the carry over streets from
the 2018 paving program and a significant portion of the $4.4 Million federally
funded paving contract. Amherst Street, Somerset Parkway, Broad Street, and
Kinsley Street still need to be completed under the federally funded paving contract
with Newport Construction.
A professional services contract with HSI is necessary to assist City Engineering staff
with the overall management, coordination, construction administration and
observation. The effort in construction coordination is significant given that there
will be multiple contracts with several contractors throughout the City at the same
time.
The term of this proposed contract will be from March 15, 2019 through December 1,
2019. More details of HSI’s services are in their proposal (attached). The services to
be provided on the paving program will be varied and HSI’s responsibilities may be
adjusted by the City based upon the specific needs and workload of the City staff.
DPW continues to recommend HSI for these types of services because of their
experience, their attention to cost control and their responsiveness to the City’s needs.
