Kim Kleiner, Director of Administrative Services
Good evening Mayor, Members of the Board. | think there may be some confusion on this and | do want to
clarify. This is a one year renewal on an existing contract. You did approve the contract with Cartegraph last
year at this time which covered us from July of 2020 through July of 2023. That contract consists of three
payments of $110,000 a year. And at that time we said we would bring it forward yearly for your approval so
this is the second installment on that contract. Cartegraph, as you know, is the software that we maintain for
the Department of Public Works which includes Parks & Recreation and Waste Water. There’s many different
sections and different modules to this. This is a system that IT maintains for them, that’s why 80% of the
contract is an Enterprise System is through the IT Budget.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Alright, Mr. Boucher?
David Boucher, Waste Water Superintendent
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Dave Boucher, Waste Water Superintendent. As was mentioned, this is for additional
electric work that was needed at the Newton Pump Station. Initially we were going to pull power off an existing
pole to the pump station. After the bid, Eversource determined that we couldn’t pull three phase power off of
the existing pole.
They did install a brand new pole for us and brought power to it, however the pole ended up being 300 feet
away from where the existing pole was. So this money is to cover the additional conduit that was needed,
additional fiber and additional power cable for this project.
