SOURCE OF FUNDING IS THE NASHUA POLICE DEPARTMENT; PRIOR YEAR ESCROW ($270,500) AND HOMELAND SECURITY (EMPG) GRANT ($122,317) Finance – 12/02/15 Page 2 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. MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO TABLE MOTION CARRIED From: Dan Kooken, Purchasing Manager Re: Purchase of One (1) 2016 Ford F150 Emergency Management Vehicle (Value: $31,928) MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE FROM MHQ IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,928.

SOURCE OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 161, STREETS; GENERAL FUND; 61, SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 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.

The Wastewater Plant Engineer, Board of Public Works (November 19r 2015) and the Purchasing Department recommend the award of this contract in the amount of $17,085 to Woodard & Curran of Andover, MA. Cfan Kooken Purchasing Manager Ce: D Simmons L Fauteux City of Nashua, Public Works Division To: Board of Public Works Meeting Date: November 19,2015 From: David A. Simmons, Superintendent Wastewater Department 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.

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.

Simmons. Superintendent Wastewater Department 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. I Ritec Environmental, LLC.
