competitive bidding shall not be required for specialized services when evaluated in the context
of that NRO.
The City, in conversations with Essex Power Services, solicited HL Turner Group as the
Engineer of Record for the project. Discussions with Pennichuck who recently went out for bid
for a major dam project, support the high quality performance of HL Turner Group.
Timeline
The timeline of this project is extremely sensitive to completing the work in low flow conditions,
generally late summer into early fall. As such, part of selecting a general contractor is their
ability to deliver the installation during the summer and fall of 2020 or we risk having to
postpone the project for a full year.
Attached is the scope of work HL Turner Group will provide. After many months of analysis the
Community Development Division recommends awarding the contract for the Engineer of
Record for the Jackson Mills Hydroelectric Turbine, Generator and Controls replacement to HL
Turner Group of Concord, NH in the amount of $442,521.
