Ms. Chisolm
Well Normandeau has done all of these studies for various clients so they know what the very strict
requirements are. The amount really won’t be known until after we can sit down with Normandeau and the
agencies, Fish & Wildlife, NH DES, until we sit down with them and actually have discussions about “Do we
absolutely have to do this” and if they say “yes” well that’s the max value. And if they say “no there’s some
wiggle room here” we have the ability to do this or this; that’s why they had provided us, like | said, with that
range for a couple of the studies.
Alderman Klee
OK thank you.
MOTION CARRIED
From: Dan Kooken, Purchasing Manager
Re: DPW Facility — Construction Manager
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
HARVEY CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN
DEPARTMENT 161 STREETS; CAPITAL; INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
This is to retain Harvey to evaluate how to improve the rather decrepit Public Works facilities that we have.
Whether it makes more sense to consolidate in one location or if it makes sense to expand in place or improve
the various facilities that are spread all over the City. This wouldn’t need to be paid until we proceed with the
project or at least the first phase of it and the cost is $25,000.00
Alderman Klee
| am all for this. | think this is something that we’ve needed for a while and the conditions that some of our
employees have to work in; | think the sooner we get this done the better. And the sooner that we get to look
at these places and make a decision as to what is going to happen, whether it is moving, whether it is
consolidating, whether it is fixing the areas. That is what this report will tell us, right? Which is the best model
to move on?
Mayor Donchess
Correct.
Alderman Klee
| am definitely all for this and the sooner the better.
