Finance Committee - 11/18/2020 Page 15
Director Cummings
| was just saying there’s a couple items | would just like to correct for the record. The previous speaker was
correct on a lot of what he said. But! want to make sure things are clear on a couple things if | may?
Mayor Donchess
Are you speaking?
Director Cummings
Can you hear me?
Mayor Donchess
On and off. The screen says that your network bandwidth is low.
Director Cummings
Can you hear me now?
Mayor Donchess
Yes.
Alderman Klee
Director Cummings, maybe you can shut your video off, that might help, sometimes that helps with the
bandwidth.
Director Cummings
Thank you. How about that, is that better now?
Mayor Donchess
It seems to have helped. We have a technical person on the Committee, thank God.
Director Cummings
Thank you, Mayor. So just a couple points for clarification, the previous speaker was correct in a lot of what he
said. There are just a couple elements | think just deserve just a further flushing out and | don’t want to
belabor this point or extend the evening any longer than necessary. But standard protocol in the construction
contracts for the City of Nashua is to typically have that split or reverter on the owner contingencies for building
projects and the construction contingencies. So that is in there, | think Alderman Dowd could speak to that in
more detail if need be in terms of how school building projects are handled. Is everyone hearing me?
Mayor Donchess
Yes.
