ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And | believe Ms. Marchant, again, will be on this one.
Director Marchant
Yes thank you. As part of a reaction to COVID and based on customer complaints, we worked last year to
really step up the cleaning services provided at both the Transit Center and with the Administration Building. At
that time, we got short-term contracts and very emergency state and what we’d like to do is move forward with
the cleaning service contracts. This is what they are for. The contract is for 6 days a week, each day of the
week that the Nashua Transit Center is open.
We will have a cleaning service come in in the evening and 3 days a week at the Administration Building. This
cleaning service has provided a level of service above and beyond what we had and our customers had
experienced in the past and especially with the importance of cleanliness and hygiene at this point and it is
something that we feel very strongly about continuing the service.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone? Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Through you to Ms. Marchant, won’t the Transit Center be under construction for
several months during the first year and are we just paying them the same in spite of that?
