She was informed by her neighbor that this is an ongoing issue that the City is aware of and it happens every few months. She emailed the Board of Public Works and left a voicemail and is waiting for a response as to why this issue hasn’t it been fixed. Mayor Lozeau responded that by tomorrow the City will contact her about what we know right now and will work with her to find a resolution. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 1 V. Broad Street Parkway A. Informational: Update of overall status on the Broad Street Parkway. DISCUSSION: John Vancor provided an update on the status of the Broad Street Parkway Project. Attached is the updated report on the project. Commissioner Moriarty asked about a synchronization issue with the light at West Hollis Street and Palm and Pine. City Engineer Dookran wasn’t aware of any accidents due to the light however synchronization issues have been brought up in the past and the system designer stands by their design. He will go back and review with the designer in light of these accidents and report back at the next Board of Public Works meeting. Commissioner Pappas excused herself from the meeting. Commissioner Bergeron asked about the left turn light for turning onto Broad Street from Blue Hill near the DMV. Have they changed? The Mayor and John Vancor said there haven’t been any changes since the changes made to the positioning of the left turn signal. Alderman Siegel thinks it functions better since the construction has subsided. Director Fauteux said that they will look into it. VI. Aldermanic Referrals A. R-15-185 APPROVING A SITE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH T-MOBILE NORTHEAST, LLC TO RELOCATE THE LESSEE’S COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT LOCATED AT WHIPPLE STREET, MINE FALLS PARK TO THE NEW REPLACEMENT TOWER MOTION: Commissioner Bergeron moves to approve the Aldermanic Referral: R-15- 185. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIED: Unanimously DISCUSSION: B. R-15-186 APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO EASEMENT IN GROSS WITH T-MOBILE NORTHEAST,LLC (SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS MB OPERATIONS, LLC) TO INCREASE EASEMENT FEES MOTION: Commissioner Bergeron moves to approve the Aldermanic Referral: R-15- 186. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIED: Unanimously DISCUSSION: VII. Wastewater Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the User Warrants as presented. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 2 B. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the contract with Woodard & Curran of Portland, ME to provide Tier II SCADA upgrades for the Wet Weather Facility at the Nashua Wastewater Treatment Facility in an amount not to exceed $17,085. Funding for this amendment will be through Department: 169 - Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 55 Other Services. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The wet weather flow treatment facility (WWFTF) came online on 2009 as an alternative to continuing to separate sewer and storm water infrastructure in the City of Nashua. The WWFTF was never fully tested in 2009/2010 due to lack of significant rain. As a result, the operators have had to manually attend to the system since the programming does not allow a combination of auto/manual operation. Woodard & Curran was hired to evaluate the system and engineer improvements in two phases or tiers. Tier 1 improvements were implemented and tested in a wet weather event on September 30th. All upgrades to the SCADA programming were successful and as a result, the system has been moderately improved. The real time, onsite testing also included identifying, documenting and compiling a list of Tier 2 improvements. These could only be identified during a significant rain event when the NPDES permit allows flow through the WWFTF. This request for funding is for Tier 2 improvements which include but are not limited to: programming for various control systems such as pressure regulators and chemical flow pacing instrumentation. Proper chemical pacing will ensure the right amount of chemical is delivered to the system. In addition to the previously uncovered issues we also are recommended adding a pressure switch and pump delay to protect the hypo delivering line and flood protection in the basement. In addition, Woodard and Curran will provide advice on evaluation and modifications to improve/simplify the sand addition system. Again, much of the system could not be tested without significant rain which has been almost none since very early in 2015. Woodard & Curran is the preferred consultant to continue this project due to their experience and intimate knowledge of the system from the initial review of the system and their Tier 1 work. They have already evaluated and made changes to the SCADA control for the WWFTF and it is the most economical for the plant for them to continue and finish this work. They have significantly contributed to the improvements at the both the plant and WWFTF and we expect them to do so for the Tier II upgrades. C. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve purchase in the amount of $22,710.20 from M & M Electrical Supply of Nashua, NH to supply one Magnum DS625 Eaton Circuit Breaker (Asset ID: MCC-PS) for the Wet Weather Facility. Funding will be through Department: 169 - Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 81 Capital Outlay/Improvements. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 3 There are three circuit breakers for the wet weather facility. The purpose of each breaker is as follows: Breaker #1: Allows the facility to operate and be powered by the North Emergency Generator during a wet weather event. Breaker #2: Operates raw wastewater pumps #1 and #2 of the wet weather facility. Breaker #3: Operates raw wastewater pumps #3 and #4 of the wet weather facility. We have just recently had to have all three breakers serviced and repaired. If one of these units totally failed beyond repair, it will 4-6 weeks to get a new breaker on site and one full day to have the unit installed. If breaker #1 has a catastrophic failure, we would not be able to operate the facility with generator power. We would have to purchase electricity from Eversource to power the facility for the duration of the rain event. This scenario has a double edge. First of all, there is the cost of electricity to operate the facility and second of all, there is the increase in the “demand charge” that would be added to our electric bill for the entire month, just for operating the facility for a single event. If breaker #2 has a catastrophic failure, the facility will only be able to operate two of the raw wastewater pumps, not four. The same would hold true if breaker #3 had a catastrophic failure. Having a spare breaker on the shelf would assure us that a new breaker would be installed within twenty four to forty eight hours. Commissioner Moriarty asked if our staff install these. Superintendent Simmons said that they don’t, it is a specialized installation and the installer Guarantees installation in 24-48 hours. D. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the purchase in the amount of $18,385 from Ritec Environmental of East Boothbay, ME to supply one Siemens mag flowmeter (Asset ID: WW-INST) for the Wet Weather Facility. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 81 Capital Outlay/Improvements. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The wet weather facility at the Nashua Wastewater Treatment Facility is put into operation during larger storm flow conditions when the combined capacity of secondary treatment and primary bypass is exceeded. On September 30th the wet weather plant became operational during a storm with over 2-inches of rainfall. It was determined during that event the flow meter was not providing the correct flow data. Further investigation determined that flow meter relay box and electrodes inside the pipe flange had become corroded and were not operational. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 4 The flowmeter consist of a top instrument unit attached to a 36-inch pipe flange that connects to the 36-inch steel pipe conveying wastewater thru the wet weather facility. The flow meter and flange unit must fit exactly in same space as the existing one hence an identical Siemens mag flowmeter will be needed. Commissioner Moriarty asked what the $600 startup service fee was for. After the unit is installed they start up the unit and calibrate it. They don’t do the installation. E. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to accept the retirement of Process Chemist Sebastian Ribeiro effective December 28, 2015. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Sebastian Ribeiro has been employed by the City of Nashua, Wastewater Department for 25 years. He started as an Analytical Chemist and has been the Process Chemist for the last 19 years. He has grown alongside the plant and his knowledge of the process will be missed. We would like to wish Mr. Ribeiro well in his retirement. F. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the change order request in the amount of $10,229 to Purchase Order # 123147 issued to M & M electrical Supply Co Inc. of Nashua, NH. Funding will be through Department: 169 – Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 55 Other Services. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: There are three breakers/transfer switches that transfer emergency power from the North Generator to the Wet Weather Treatment Facility during major rain events. One of these breakers failed in October and the cost of repairing this breaker was $8,865.00 for parts and materials. After this breaker was repaired and re-installed, I asked the vendor to inspect the second and third breakers. It was determined that these both needed to be replaced, as well as the “trip unit” in the third breaker. The vendor offered to repair the second and third breakers and replace the “trip unit” in the third breaker for $10,229. VIII. Streets Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the elimination of the current Wastewater Collection System Foreman position at the Wastewater Department and to create an additional Street Foreman Position at the Street Department. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: This proposal will eliminate the vacant Wastewater Collection System position and create an additional Street Department foreman position. This will provide a more versatile employee during the winter and summer seasons. There will be an annual Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 5 financial impact of $2,454.40 by upgrading this position from a rate of $29.06 per hour to a rate of $30.24 per hour. This upgrade will give us more flexibility and better efficiencies in how work is scheduled and performed. The primary supervisory responsibilities will be overseeing wastewater collection system repair and maintenance. It is the Superintendent’s recommendation that this position be created. B. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the relocation of the Collection System Operators positions and the Collection System Technicians to the Street Department. Funding through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 51 Salaries and Wages. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The relocating of the wastewater collection system staff to the Street Department will provide more flexibility and better efficiencies in the cleaning and inspecting of catch basins, manholes and sewer mains. Along with the creation of the new Street Foreman to oversee the collection staff, this relocation will allow the department to set up a comprehensive catch basin cleaning program. It is the Superintendent’s recommendation that these positions be relocated to the Street Department. Commissioner Bergeron asked if these positions were being moved in order to better utilize them during snow and other events and doesn’t change their salaries? Mayor Lozeau responded that there is a small change in wages because the foremen at the Street Department make approximately $2,000 more a year than those at the Wastewater Department. C. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the reduction the amount of the purchase order to Granite State Minerals of Portsmouth NH to the amount of $232,500 from $465,000 and to approve the purchase of winter road salt from Eastern Minerals, Inc. of Lowell, MA at a cost of $52.47 per estimated 4,431 tons or a budgeted value of $232,500. Funding will be through Department: 161 Streets; Fund: General; Account Classification: 61 Supplies and Materials. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: To reduce the amount of the purchase order to Granite State Minerals of Portsmouth NH, to the amount of $232,500 from $465,000 and to approve the purchase of winter road salt from Eastern Minerals, Inc. of Lowell, MA at a cost of $52.47 per estimated 4,431 tons or a budgeted value of $232,500. Funding will be through Department: 161 Streets; Fund: General; Account Classification: 61 Supplies and Materials. Commissioner Moriarty said that his research showed that both companies are owned by same family. Superintendent Ryder said he wasn’t aware of this but will look into it. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 6 IX. Solid Waste Department A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the purchase of asbestos disposal site work equipment and supplies in an amount not to exceed $5,000. Funding for this purchase will be through: Department: 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Trust; Account Classification 71 Equipment. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The Division of Public Works – Solid Waste Department requests approval to use up to $5,000 from the Asbestos Trust Fund to purchase equipment and supplies needed for doing asbestos site disposal work. On November 1st, 12 public works employees received their Asbestos Disposal Site Worker-in-Training licenses. One requirement of this licensing is that all licensed employees, 16 in total, must undergo Respirator Fit Testing. As a result the Solid Waste Department needs to purchase the proper safety equipment and do the training for meeting this requirement and to continue the new licensees training on asbestos clean ups. Also, the department is in need of replenishing its supplies for containing, packaging and disposing of asbestos contaminated items. X. Engineering Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the Residential and Commercial Wastewater Service Permits and Fees as submitted. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Residential and Commercial Wastewater Service Permits October 1 through October 31, 2015 Connection 10% Discount Betterment Date Permit Appl Location Address Name Comments Fees # # Entrance 505 West Hollis St., 10/08/2015 23595 13426 Tim Drew Increased Use $295.00 X Unit 104 12 Murphy Dr., 10/08/2015 23596 13427 Ray Aho Increased Use $295.00 X Unit 1-F Emergency 10/22/2015 23598 13429 25 Kinsley St Bob Thibault $600.00 X Replacement Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 7 Randy Original 10/26/2015 23599 13430 65 King St $895.00 X X Turmell Application TOTAL $2,085.00 B. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to accept the resignation of Timothy Watson, Senior Staff Engineer, effective November 13, 2015. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Timothy Watson has served the City of Nashua for one year and six months. He has given notice of his resignation as of October 29, 2015. His contributions to the Engineering Department and the City as a whole are greatly valued. His engineering knowledge and capabilities will be missed. We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors. Mayor Lozeau acknowledged his work and believes that his departure is a big loss for the City. C. Informational: Commissioner Bergeron moves to accept and place on file the Paving Update. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Final paving was completed on sections of Cross St, Whitney St, Oak St, Eldridge St, East Hobart St. Repair work was completed on West Hollis St and Lamb Rd. All paving has been completed for this year. The 2016 paving contract is being drafted. Paving of Mulberry St., Tolles St (Whitney to Canal), and Canal St. will be delayed until the required sewer repairs are completed. Commissioner Moriarty said he received two calls from residents on Jill Street regarding the poor condition of their street. Director Fauteux said there are a number of streets in similar condition and she will look into Jill and Flintlock. Mayor Lozeau said that the Cartegraph system is close to being ready for use for street pavement planning. XI. Administration A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the contract with MotionLink of Atlanta, GA for an AVL System in an amount not-to-exceed $82,031. Funding will be through: Department: 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Prior Year Escrows; Account Classification: 55 Other Purchased Services. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 8 SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously with the contingency of Board satisfaction with the requested information and testimonials DISCUSSION: MotionLink is an enterprise fleet management solution designed to give visibility to fleet usage and locations in real time allowing for operational efficiencies; enhanced safety and improved decision making abilities. This is the same system currently used by Nashua Transit. The term of this contract will be three years. Year one will include the initial up-front costs of the wired AVL Hardware and installation as well as the monthly monitoring fee. (Chart below provides cost breakdown). Initial Costs –Wired AVL (Including Installation) $235/Unit Initial Cost – OBD Plug (Including Installation) $189/Unit Monthly Monitoring Fee (10 Second Updates) $33/Unit The Division anticipates purchasing 130 Wired AVL units for the City fleet. Additional OBD Plug units will be purchased when required for snow contractors. There was a discussion about the need to buy the every 10 second location update package versus a longer time frame which would be less money. Mayor Lozeau explained that when we had a former inferior AVL system, we learned that the 10 second data package is something we would definitely need when we bought a new system. The Board decided that it would like a testimonial from another municipality that uses it for snow prior to approval. Mayor Lozeau will get the information and send it to the Board. If there are concerns after receipt of the information, the purchase can be tabled to the December 16th Finance Meeting instead being brought to the December 2nd meeting. B. Informational:  Sculpture Locations – Mayor Lozeau discussed a list of proposed sculpture locations by the International Sculpture Symposium to the Board for review and approval. The three proposed locations approved by the Mayor are Main Dunstable Soccer Field, Nashua High School South (pending approval by the school) ,79 Pine Hill Road at Charron Avenue near the airport (pending approval by the airport) There were no objections by the Commissioners. A map of the proposed locations is attached to these minutes. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of November 19, 2015 Page 9  Holocaust Memorial Park A memo was distributed which outlines the final sculpture concept for the Holocaust Memorial Park by Joe Gray. The memo is attached to these minutes.  Main Street Sidewalk Update  Director’s Report A series of slides showing various current Public Works projects and activities were shown. XII. Commissioner’s Comments Commissioner Bergeron asked for an update on the Broad Street Jersey barrier. Director Fauteux believes it has been installed within the last week. He also asked about the status of the roundabout up by Bridge Street. Mayor Lozeau responded that that involves a state grant we received for traffic calming. The company was hired, a study is being completed and options are being reviewed by the City. It looks like a roundabout may not be the answer. An update will be provided at the December Board Meeting. Commissioner Moriarty asked about the status of the Legacy playground. Director Fauteux responded that we only received one bid and it was higher than we hoped. The RFP will be put out again around January and hopefully we’ll get better pricing. Commissioner Ackerman thanked the Director for the tour of the Division of Public Works.

Possible Non-Public Session 3 Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 A regular meeting of the Board of Public Works was held on Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. at the Division of Public Works, Administration & Engineering offices, 9 Riverside Street, Nashua, NH 03062. Members Present Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, Chair Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works Commissioner Kevin S. Moriarty, Vice Chair David Simmons, Superintendent of Wastewater Commissioner Paul G. Bergeron Nick Caggiano, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation Commissioner Tracy Pappas Steve Dookran, City Engineer Commissioner Joel Ackerman Ken Siegel, Aldermanic Liaison Mayor Lozeau called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. and called the roll.

SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIED: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 1 IV. Broad Street Parkway A. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve and place on file the Informational Update of overall status on the Broad Street Parkway. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIED: Unanimously DISCUSSION: John Vancor provided an update on the status of the Broad Street Parkway Project. Attached is the updated report on the project. B. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the amendment to the contract for Environmental Services with Sanborn Head Associates in the amount of $35,500. Funding will be through Department 160 Admin/Engineering; Fund: Bond; Activity: Broad Street Parkway. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The original contract awarded in July 2012 for $267,300 with Sanborn Head was primarily for evaluating underground hazardous materials and groundwater within the parkway footprint, as well as designing the measures to mitigate project impacts. Amendments 1, 2 and 3, totaling $166,441, were for added environmental services related to construction. These services included but were not limited to testing and monitoring of the removal and disposal of large amounts of buried asbestos on Parkway North, dealing with a buried contaminated tank found at 44 Broad St. and addressing contaminated drilled shaft spoils related to the foundation of the Nashua River Bridge. Amendments 4, 5, 6 and 7, totaling $109,000 incrementally provided additional budget so that if unanticipated underground hazardous material were encountered, Sanborn Head could react quickly and in so doing, avoid or minimize potential construction delays. As additional buried asbestos continued to be encountered, Amendments 8 and 9 provided budget for Sanborn Head to further increase the efforts to monitor ongoing excavation within the Millyard. Sanborn Head provided staff whenever excavation occurred in the Millyard. This effort enhanced awareness, reduced the timeline needed to sample suspect excavated material and reduced reaction time as additional pockets of asbestos were encountered. Amendment 10 provides further budget for this oversight. More asbestos has been encountered. In some cases the nature of the material encountered has required different disposal procedures. The effort to address asbestos continues to take greater time by the Contractor than anticipated requiring more oversight. V. Wastewater Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the User Warrants as presented. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 2 MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: B. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the contract in an amount not to exceed of $45,000 over a 3 year period with Chemserve Environmental Analyst of Milford, NH for water quality sampling of the Nashua and Merrimack Rivers in conjunction with the CSO Post Construction Monitoring Plan. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 53 Professional & Technical Services. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The EPA Consent Decree mandated CSO improvements are now complete. The Consent Decree requires a post construction monitoring plan including sampling of the Nashua and Merrimack Rivers at 4 locations for dry and wet weather conditions four times a year. The purpose of this request is to hire a sampling and water quality analysis company for a 3-years contract to collect and analyze the required samples. This project will benefit the City by ensuring that CSO discharges meet the design storm they are supposed to discharge in order to keep the Nashua and Merrimack Rivers as clean as possible during storm conditions. Since the EPA mandated Consent Decree CSO improvements are complete a water quality sampling and analysis program is required to assess the effectiveness of the 7 CSO structures with outfall discharges. In addition to the water quality benefits of the sampling and analysis, this program will keep the City in good standing with the EPA which could implements fines should the City fail to have in place a water quality monitoring plan. Six environmental consultants were given proposals, two provided bids, as follows: Consultant Costs for 3 Years Annual Costs Chemserve Environmental $45,000 $15,000 Normandeau Associates $74,767.28 $24,922.43 The consultant’s bid the project over a 3 year period, but in Addendum-1 it specifies the maximum number of samples to be taken per year. Each year the same maximum number of samples will be collected so the total samples and costs are divided by 3 to come up with the annual (not to exceed) costs. The Wastewater Plant currently uses Chemserve to perform laboratory analyses of certain constituents in the plant and industrial wastewater that the lab does not have the capability to analyze. They have provided well for the laboratory for many years and we recommend that they be approved for these services. C. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to accept and place on file that John Adie, Plant Operations Supervisor, is the recipient of the 2015 Water Environment Federation William D. Hatfield Award. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 3 SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Commissioner Pappas acknowledged John Adie for his hard work. Superintendent Dave Simmons explained that the award is for the outstanding commitment to operations in the field of wastewater and is a great honor to receive. Commissioner Moriarty requested that the Board send a letter to Mr. Adie congratulating him on receiving the award. D. Informational: EPA Permit Status MOTION: Commissioner Pappas to approve the EPA Permit Status update. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: A packet was handed out to the commissioners and is attached. Director Fauteux acknowledged Mayor Lozeau for her part in this process which has been very beneficial. Commissioner Bergeron recalled a time not too long ago when the City’s rivers were very unhealthy and commended the City’s efforts to improve the quality of them. E. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the contract with Highland Power of Brockton, MA in the amount of $11,500 for Waukesha Generator repairs. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Classification: 54 Property Services. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Highland Power was been the sole provider of repairs to the Waukesha generator since 2008. This has been documented by previous sole source letters. The Waukesha generator produces electricity for the plant or power grid by burning methane produced through the digestion process. The generator is in need of a resealed oil plan. After the repair, Highland will test run the unit and check for leaks. For these reasons, I recommend that we hire Highland Power to perform the necessary repairs. F. Informational: Hazen and Sawyer EPA Appeal Invoice MOTION: Commissioner Pappas to approve the EPA Appeal Invoice update. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 4 Mayor Lozeau summarized the update, stating that there was a misunderstanding as to who Hazen and Sawyer would invoice for their services. Hazen Sawyer invoiced the City instead of Rath, Young, Pignatelli which was the City Staff’s original assumption, so the City has brought the invoice before the Board as an informational piece. The cost of the service came in under the original estimate. VI. Parks Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the selection of Mr. Shawn Dyer of Merrimack, NH to the position of Groundskeeper / Maintenance at the Parks and Recreation Department. Starting salary for this position will be $24.81 per hour for a yearly salary of $51,188.8. Funding is through Department: 171 Parks and Recreation; Fund: General; Account Classification: 51-Salary & Wages. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: This position was posted per the AFSCME CBA and there were three internal applicants from the department. The interview team of Nick Caggiano, Parks and Recreation Superintendent, Eric Ryder Streets Superintendent and Jeff Lafleur Solid Waste Superintendent developed interview questions related to the job and scored and rated the applicant. The candidates were then administered a general knowledge written test based on the requirements of the position as well as a field test. After review of the interview and test scores, the applicant that met minimum qualifications and with the most department seniority was selected. Mr Dyer met the guidelines and is recommended for the position. Mr. Dyer has been employed by the city for the past 20 years. He started out as summer help then became a Groundsman I and then was promoted to Truck Driver. Mr Dyer currently holds a Commercial Driver’s License, and has performed his duties well. Parks and Recreation Superintendent Nick Caggiano joined the discussion. Commissioner Pappas wanted to confirm that Mr. Dyer can plow. Superintendent Caggiano confirmed that he can and that he is one of the department’s better drivers. Commissioner Moriarty noted that driving requirements were not listed on the application. Superintendent Caggiano responded that it is a current system limitation that internal candidates are not asked to list their driving credentials. He will follow up with Human Resources again about making that change. B. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the elimination of the Truck Driver positon at the Parks and Recreation Department, and the creation of a Groundsman I position. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 5 This proposal will eliminate the vacant Driver position and create a Groundsman I position. This change will save the department $2,849 per year and will help with the 2017 budget. This change will eliminate the only driver position in the department which will streamline the process of assigning work in the morning. This will provide a more versatile work group for both the winter and summer seasons. This position will also provide an individual to work on grass crews, mowing, trimming, weeding, and setting up ball fields and rectangular fields. With the removal of the one Park and Recreation Truck Driver classification we will be able to assign work without going through the time consuming process of calling this out on days when needed. There will be a positive annual financial impact of $2,849 by downgrading this position from a rate of $21.70 per hour to a rate of $20.33 per hour. It is the Superintendents recommendation that this change be made. C. Informational: Commissioner Pappas to accept and place on file the 2015 Summer Camp Revenue summary report. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Superintendent Caggiano reviewed the 2015 Summer Camp Revenue summary report. He also discussed two new camps for next year – yoga camp and fitness camp. Commissioner Pappas mentioned that she has received requests to restripe the parking lot at Main Dunstable Soccer Field. Superintendent Caggiano said he would look into it and agreed that it probably hasn’t been painted in years. Commissioner Pappas also suggested that soccer coaches be asked that if snacks or drinks were given to kids they or their parents please take the trash home with them. Superintendent Caggiano said that the City currently empties 220 trash cans there every Monday and Friday. Commissioner Bergeron noted how fantastic it is that these camps are profitable. He also noted the wonderful variety of camps offered. VII. Engineering Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Bergeron to approve the Residential and Commercial Wastewater Service Permits and Fees as submitted. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 6 Residential and Commercial Wastewater Service Permits September 1 through September 30, 2015 Connection 10% Discount Betterment Date Permit Appl Location Address Name Comments Fees # # Entrance 278 Daniel Webster 9/01/2015 23589 13420 Mike Silva Increase Use $295.00 X Hwy Holly Original 9/16/2015 23590 13421 52 Legacy Dr $295.00 X McCarty Application Holly Original 9/16/2015 23591 13422 53 Legacy Dr $295.00 X McCarty Application 5 Pine St Ext-N, Stephen 9/16/2015 23592 13423 Increase Use $0.00 X Unit 1D Bonnette 17 Courtney Ln, Original 9/22/2017 23593 13424 Robert Dion $295.00 X Unit 7 Application 354 Amherst St, 9/30/2015 23594 13425 Ed Campbell Increase Use $0.00 X Unit 5 TOTAL $1,180.00 B. Motion Removed From Agenda Mayor Lozeau removed the motion from the agenda. She provided an update on the status of the completion of the two crosswalks on Main Street. The Finance Committee did not approve the crosswalks on the 10/21 meeting. The bid from Hutter was at least twice as much as it would cost for the City to complete the work. She hopes to be able to find a compromise to still get the crosswalks completed before winter – possibly by having the City do some of the work and contracting less work from Hutter. Commissioner Bergeron expressed his support for getting the crosswalks completed this year. He also feels that the businesses on Main Street and the residents of Nashua would be in support. The Main Street infrastructure project has lasted four construction seasons which is the equivalent of 27 months – completing it this year would be ideal. C. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to accept and place on file the Paving Program Update. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 7 Attached is an update of the status of the streets included in the 2014/2015 Paving Program. Engineering is working with utilities, contractors and the Wastewater and Street Departments to prepare streets for paving. Coordination of paving with other city projects is ongoing. Manchester St paving was completed on Saturday, October 10, 2015. East Hobart St, Oak St, and Whitney St are scheduled for the week of October 19. This will conclude paving for the year. Paving of Mulberry St., Tolles St (Whitney to Canal), and Canal St. will be delayed until the required sewer repairs are completed. D. Motion: Commissioner Pappas moves to accept and place on file the Consent Decree (Civil Action No. 05-376-PB, dated December 26, 2005) on Combined Sewer Overflows – July 1 to September 30, 2015 Quarterly Report on Compliance. Pappas-no second SECONDED: NONE MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: Attached is the quarterly report sent to the EPA on October 13, 2015 and includes the progress for the past three months. VIII. Street Department: A. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to approve the purchase of four Swenson EV100 1056SS Stainless Steel V-Box Spreaders from H.P. Fairfield, Pembroke, NH for the price of $10,500 each for a total purchase of $42,000. Funding will be through Department: 161 Streets; Fund: Prior Year Escrows; Account Classification: 71 Equipment. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: The Street Department went out to bid April 25, 2014 to up-fit four, six-wheel dump trucks purchased in March 2014. This bid included the purchase of Stainless Steel V- Box Spreaders. H. P. Fairfield has offered to hold the pricing of the sanders to the price quoted per the bid. The current tailgate spreaders are showing signs of excess wear and corrosion. The stainless steel drop in sanders with ground speed controls will more effectively control the amount of material being applied, and they are preferable as the stainless sanders have a 20 year life expectancy plus the ability to mount the sander onto a different truck should there be a need. Minutes of Board of Public Works Meeting of October 22, 2015 Page 8 Commissioner Ackerman asked if we were getting government pricing. Superintendent Caggiano said that we have purchased from H.P. Fairfield in the past and the Purchasing Department allows us to not have to go out to bid again if a vendor holds their price within a certain period of time. H.P. Fairfield held their price so we didn’t have to go out to bid. B. Motion: Commissioner Pappas approve the award of the FY16 Pavement Markings contract to Hi-Way Safety Systems, Inc. of Rockland, MA in the amount of $155,525. Funding for this contract is through Department 161: Streets; Fund: General; Account Classification: 54 – Property Services. SECONDED: Commissioner Moriarty MOTION CARRIES: Unanimously DISCUSSION: City of Nashua annual Pavement Marking Program was put out to bid in July 2014. Three bids were received on July 17, 2014 as follows, HI-Way Safety Systems, Inc. $155,525 Markings Inc. $160,125 L&D Safety Marking $257,250 Highway Safety Systems, Inc. was awarded the contract for FY 2015, and their performance has been satisfactory for the past several years. Highway Safety has agreed to hold their unit prices for the same quantities from their FY 2015 bid during FY 2016. It is the recommendation of the Superintendent of Streets to extend their contract into FY 2016 given the contractor has agreed to hold their last years pricing. Commissioner Bergeron asked if we were happy with the service provided by Hi-Way Safety Systems since we’ve had a number of issues with paint and striping and new techniques. Mayor Lozeau responded that our issues with Thermoplastic in the past has been related to putting it down when it is too cold or when the pavement isn’t fresh enough. The City has been happy overall with this company’s work. Commissioner Bergeron asked about the status of the striping on Manchester and Concord Street. Director Fauteux said it should be completed in about three weeks. IX. Administration A. Informational: i. Motion: Commissioner Pappas to accept and place on file the Main Street Sidewalk Update.
