will leave it to her to speak to it but | think it's pretty safe to say that the proposals that we received, Marvell was not the
highest. It was in the middle of the pack but we negotiated it down but we were able to still maintain the scope that we
originally put up for in our proposal.

ON THE QUESTION
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
If | may, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Donchess
Yes.
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Again, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. So this contract before you is actually was an idea or a
deliverable that we had originally included in the Nashua Performing Arts Center Project. We value engineered the idea
of the West Pearl Street streetscaping out of the project to bring that project costs down. The Downtown Improvement
Committee still believes that it would be a worthwhile venture to move forward with improving West Pearl Street,
particularly with expanding the sidewalks which are not ADA compliant at this time. So they have set a bulk of the money
aside to bring a design to a point where we could seek construction funding and that's what this contract endeavors to do.
Mayor Donchess
