ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Questions, discussion? Well why don’t you just give us a brief explanation.
Mr. Boucher
So Flow Assessment is a company we hired; they have rain gauges and flow meters within 11 sites in Nashua
that measure flow whenever it rains that leaves our combined sewer overflow locations. Monthly they give us
a report that we can send to regulator. So this is a company we had been using; this is an extension of their
contract for another year.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And Mr. Kates is here, the Emergency Preparedness Director, would you explain this item please?
Justin Kates, Emergency Management Director
Sure good evening, so | am happy to be here to explain a little bit about this contract. We are working through
the process for our third round of contract renewal with ONSOLVE. This is for the Code Red System that we
have within the City. In order to ensure that we don’t have a lapse in service, we are pushing forward with this
contract at the same rate that we’ve been paying for the last 3 years. 3 years ago we were able to bring the
price down from $36,000.00 down to $22,000.00 per year. | am happy to announce that | think we have an
opportunity to work with the State of New Hampshire; we are working currently with them to negotiate a project
where we will actually leverage their service also through ONSOLVE. It will eliminate this entire contract.
