City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: April 23, 2020
Daniel Hudson, 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 $398,230 for the management and construction
administration of the paving program. Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund:
Bond; Activity: Paving.
HSI Proposal (dated January 15, 2020)
This year, Public Works is taking on a very extensive paving program which includes
22 miles of roadways. This work is to be completed using two contracts totaling
approximately $8.3 million. In addition to the new contracts there are carry over
streets from the 2019 paving propram and a proposed change order to the federally
funded program to construct ADA compliant ramps.
A professional services contract with HSI is necessary to assist City Engineering staff
with the overall management, coordination, construction administration and
observation of the paving program. 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 1, 2020 through December 1,
2020. 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
extensive experience on successful City projects, their attention to cost control and
their responsiveness to the City’s needs.
