We participate in a chemical consortium through bid process to get the lowest price available. JSI was the low
bidder and they came in 1.4% lower than last year. So we'd like to go with JSI they are a well-known company
in the field.

to provide it and then pay a markup charge that we would probably have to pay because we didn’t have that
direct access, which you know, at the end of the day is | want to say somewhere in the order of $6,000.00 ish
for 3 or 4 licenses. So in the grand scheme of things, | think it is well worth the money, especially the amount of
time that | am on the data base.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you.

Mayor Donchess

Finance Committee - 08/05/2020 Page 6

You’re welcome.

Mayor Donchess

Any other questions or comments, Alderwoman Klee?

Alderman Klee

Thank you Mr. Mayor. In keeping with the conversation that just happened and perhaps Alderman Harriott-
Gathright can ask this, would it be called for to add those words for recommendation to the Full Board? Or is it

not necessary?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Finance Committee - 08/05/2020 Page 5

Thank you for bringing this forward, the contract looks thorough. My question is just more general, is it normal
practice for cities to have this kind of relationship and if so why haven’t we had one until now.

Director Cummings

If | may Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Donchess

Yes, go ahead.

Director Cummings

Finance Committee - 08/05/2020 Page 4

Oh ok.

Mayor Donchess

Now one thing that needs to be clarified from last time because this question came up and the tentative answer
| gave you was correct. The proceeds of this sale are from the remainder of a parcel that was partially used for
the Broad Street Parkway. We are talking now about the main parcel here, 44 Broad Street. The proceeds of
that sale will go not to the City of Nashua but back to the Federal Government because they advanced the
funds to make these acquisitions.

Yes, thank you. | can hear you, | am here alone and | am practicing social distancing.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

And also if | can make a notation that Alderman Tom Lopez has joined us as well.
