Re: Finance Committee —Riverfront Lighting Change Order #1
The Downtown Riverfront Master Plan was approved in the fall of 2017 as the comprehensive
vision for Nashua’s downtown riverfront. Moving that plan forward, the City entered into a
contract with Lumen Studios to create a detailed lighting design and electrical plan for the core
downtown riverfront and in the summer of 2020 went out to bid (IFB0285-070220) for a partial
installation of the lighting, focusing on the areas of the Riverfront that will not see substantial
modifications as part of the larger engineering and design project.
The contract was awarded to Guardian in the fall of 2020 including work on the Cotton Transfer
Bridge and a reduced portion of the Riverfront walkway, from the Eversource Station to the Cotton
Transfer Bridge. The work on the installation is underway and is expected to be complete by the
end of June.
The attached is the first change order for this contract based on the reduction in scope to include the
areas of the Riverfront on the north bank which are not expected to change with the larger
Riverfront engineering project underway. This includes the removal of 5 lighting poles from the
Eversource station east towards Main St from the scope of work. The change order also includes
increases to provide for power for the west side of the Cotton Mill bridge which was originally
designed to come from the south bank and the inclusion of dimming capabilities for the new
lighting which will extend the life of the product.
The total change order reduces the contract by $9,538.00.
