ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
There were a few questions that I had and rather than going into excruciating detail I had a conversation with
Justin Kates and Chief Lavoie and there’s no danger in postponing this until the next meeting when we can
hopefully have some of those questions addressed.
Alderman Moriarty
The purchase of this generator has been circulating for a few months now, right?
Mayor Lozeau
Yes.
Alderman Moriarty
At one point wasn’t there a bond?
Mayor Lozeau
What’s happened is that it started being scoped out back in November of 2014 by the police department and
when that was done it went out to bid and the intention was to look at doing it more like a design bid and have
the vendor come in and look at what the needs were, design it and then give us a price to design and build.
When those two bids came back there was not a comfort level on feeling that was the right approach based on
the vendor bids. Instead the police department went out and got four quotes from engineers to hire an
engineering company to scope out the work, design the bid document, design the end product and that
happened. That went out in September for bids and the bids came back and they had the mandatory pre bids
and questions were asked and an addendum was done. All of this has been in the works for a while. In the
meantime we were awarded a federal grant for this of $122,000 that we accepted by resolution and so we
were able to use less of the city money that we had escrowed for that purpose. When the bids came in, one
vendor was chosen and further negotiations happened with that vendor and they are the winner of the bid.
Alderman Siegel pointed out to me this evening that he had some concerns about testing of some of the
equipment that wasn’t laid out as clearly as he would have like. The spec document is pretty significant and
we did not include them in the finance packet that you received and one of the reasons was because they are
all on the website on the bid page. Alderman Siegel took the time to read all of the information that Director
Kates sent to him and based on that he has questions and that’s why he’d like to table it. We have no
objections and frankly if he caught something that we need to have caught I guess we may be better off.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Lozeau
You may recall a few meetings back when we were doing the annual salt contract we only had one bid and that
was Granite State and we were concerned because every year we pretty much do 50/50 between two
companies to make sure that we have a back-up and the other company hadn’t bid. The superintendent
worked on that quite a bit and was successful in getting them to meet the state bid and now the Board of Public
Works has supported splitting that money between two companies as we typically do.

purchase 28-4 gas meters and accessories for all Nashua Fire apparatus as well as 1 meter for
each of the 19 Souhegan Mutual Aid Team communities.

Re: Generator at Nashua Police Department and Emergency Operations Center
This finance request covers the purchase and installation cost of a new Generator at the Nashua Police Department.
The installation of this generator will enable the building to be powered during a long term power outage and will
replace an existing aging generator at the end of its lifespan.
During the Invitation for Bid process, two vendors bid on this project. It was determined that Electronic Environments
Corporation presented the most comprehensive proposal that would meet the needs of the entire building while
staying within the project budget. Electronic Environments Corporation was also the low bidder for a total price of
$392,817.00.
This project is funded partially by a Federal Emergency Management Agency Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) which will reimburse no more than 50% of the costs. The local match funding is provided by a
Prior-Year Escrow within the Police Department.
The Nashua Police Department and this Office recommends the purchase in the amount of $392,817.00 to
Electronic Environments Corporation of Marlborough, MA.

Re: Winter Road Salt
C. Motion: 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:

Attachment: Eastern Minerals, Inc. Salt Quote
Discussion: The City of Nashua has used Granite State Mineral and Eastern Minerals as
vendors last year. Granite State Mineral won the NH State Bid. Historically the
City has utilized two salt vendors to ensure adequate supply and delivery of salt.
Eastern Minerals, Inc. is matching the State of New Hampshire bid price of
$52.47 per ton. It is the opinion of the Superintendent of Streets to choose
Eastern Minerals as a vendor for 50% of its supply of winter road salt.

Re: Woodard & Curran - Tier II SCADA Upgrades at Wet Weather Facility
B. Motion: To approve the contract with Woodard & Curran of Portland, ME to provide Tier
II SCAD A 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.
Attachments: Vendor quote
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 30lh. All upgrades to the SCAD A 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.

Re: Purchase of spare transfer switch/breaker
C. Motion: To approve the 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.
Attachments: Cost Proposal
Discussion: 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.

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.

Re: Purchase of Flowmeter for Wet Weather Facility from Ritec Environmental
Attachment: Cost Proposal
D. Motion: To approve the purchase in the amount of SI 8,385 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 Out lay/Improvements.
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 30 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 was not operational.
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.
