construction management services for the creation of a Performing Arts Center (“PAC”) at 201 Main Street
in an amount to be determined later based will be based on the formula as outlined and shall nol exceed
2.9% of the GMP.
Background
As you may be aware the city passed a bond for $15.5M for the purposes of creating a Performing Arts
Center (“PAC”) at 201 Main Street. Additionally, the City of Nashua put together a Steering Committee of
various stakeholders to help advise with the development of this project. At this time. the PAC Steering
Committee recommends we procure the services of Harvey Construction for their Construction
Management services. By way of background, an RFQ went out for Construction Management services
this past summer and the city received approximately 10 proposals from qualified respondents. The PAC
Steering Committee decided to interview 4 firms of which 3 invitations were accepted, After reviewing the
various proposals, interviewing various entities and doing a plethora of due diligence the steering
committee recommended to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen that Harvey Construction’s services be
procured. Harvey has executed many building projects on behalf of the city and is uniquely qualified
having constructed performing art centers and theater in New Hampshire recently.
Recommendation
The Office of Economic Development recommends approval of the contract to Harvey Construction.
