City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: April 29, 2021
Daniel Hudson, P.E., City Engineer
Engineering Department
Pavement Management Support Services
To approve Change Order No. 2 to the Pavement Management Service Contract
with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. of Burlington, MA in an amount not to
exceed $31,600. Funding will be through Department: 160 Admin/Engineering;
Fund: Bond; Activity: Paving.
The City has contracted Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. since 2016 to provide
assistance in evaluating the pavement condition of our 300 mile road network and
to make recommendations on rehabilitation and preservation methods. Using their
expertise, Stantec has provided assistance in developing the necessary protocols for
preventative maintenance, including updating costs and decision trees for selecting
prioritized lists of roadways to pave. This request is for $31,600 to fund the third
year of the three-year contract and survey 33 percent of the City’s roadway
network.
Last year Stantec satisfactorily performed a condition survey of the middle-third of
the City, this year it is proposed to survey the northern-third. Stantec will continue
to use Cartegraph’s pavement condition assessment software while evaluating
approximately 101 miles of roadway, and updating the Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) rating for each road segment. This information enables the City to assess the
paving program’s performance over time, monitor conditions, and select
appropriate treatments in an objective and transparent way.
