4:12Johnny Barrett, Superintendent of the Street Department.
4:15Um, this is our annual rock salt purchase.
4:19We're looking to award this through the motion to Granite State Minerals, who won the state bid again this year.

6:18Uh we had to sub uh secure a an engineer that was qualified to do the work and uh help us go through this pilot program.
6:26Sanbornhead came out way on top of everything.
6:28They they're experts in this field, so we uh decided to go with them and they're gonna do the work with us throughout the pilot program.
6:40Any questions or comments?
6:42All those in favor of the motion say aye.
6:51We've completed uh wastewater.

7:33Good evening, Michael Rush, Fleet Superintendent.
7:36Uh, this is a scheduled purchase as corrected on your sheets.
7:40It is a bond purchase.
7:41Um, it is going to replace our 2016 caterpillar wheeled loader that we currently use at the street department.
7:48Um this is used year-round for different projects throughout the city.
7:52Um it has a couple of quick attachments to move uh manhole covers and structures and those large plates you see in the road.
7:59Um it's also going to be equipped with a snowfighter package, plow and wing to use in our snow operations uh when we need it for that.
8:07Um there it is worth noting it did come in under budget, and there is a trade-in.
8:12We're gonna trade one of our back line uh loaders towards this purchase.
8:16And I'm happy to answer any questions you have on the scheduled purchase.
8:21Anyone all those in favor of the motion say say aye.
8:26Aye opposed, motion passes.
8:29Next communication is or excuse me.
8:36Motion to approve the purchase of two 2026 Ford F 350 four-wheel drive trucks from Gripponi Ford for the price of 91,436 each.
8:45Pricing for this purchase will be off the New Hampshire State bid contract.
8:49Additionally, approve the purchase and installation of radio system in an amount not to exceed 5,000.
8:53Funding will be through Department 177 parks fund trust activity served.
8:58Michael Rush, fleet superintendent.
9:00Uh this purchase is to replace two older vehicles in the park department.
9:05Uh, these trucks are equipped with maintenance bodies on them, and they service all the parks all around the city, um, you know, for pools, swing sets, sprinkler systems, and other maintenance tasks that may need to be completed.
9:17They're also equipped with a plow package to assist in winter operations.
9:21Uh happy to answer any questions you have on this scheduled purchase.
9:31Um yeah, I just uh question around question around the current um because it's obviously meant to uh replace them.
9:39Uh is there those are gonna be traded in?
9:42Uh these two these two units will be moved to the back line.
9:45Um we did take quite a few park vehicles off the road this year um for during their annual inspection that were deemed just not feasible or uh financially feasible to fix this year.
9:56So we sold those at auction, took those off the road.
10:00Um the current vendor did not want to take those in trade.
10:03Um they saw no value in in taking them as trades, so we sold those units at auction.
10:08So we would move these units to the back line.
10:10Um and it'll take about about a year, maybe a little over a year to get these new ones in.
10:17And as a follow-up to that, um these are these are obviously brand new.
10:22We we know the driving off the lot all of a sudden they lose their value.
10:25Is it was there any talk about like the potential of looking at used vehicles, or was part of the whole state bid contract thing that it has to be?
10:34So there is there is times um if it meets the specifications for what we're looking for.
10:38We'll buy a leftover vehicle.
10:41Um for this for these vehicles, there was no currently any leftover vehicles for that, um, just because of the specifications for the body that we put on them for the surface body package.
10:52Well, thank you for the due diligence on it.
10:54Yeah, you're welcome.
11:00Um I do I'm looking in this is a purchase of two with uplift packages.
11:07Is what you're talking about?
11:09Uh no lift gates on these.
11:10They're just um they're like mechanic service bodies, it's like a a big toolbox um utility body.
11:17Um so it'll carry tools, um, you know, different various things that they'll use for sprinkler systems, um nuts, bolts, zip ties, tape, um, regular standard hand tools, maybe some power tools.
11:29Um the trucks are all equipped with an inverter to charge the batteries for those cordless tools, um, or corded tools if they need to run a corded tool.
11:37Um they're F350s, so they they can hold like a pallet of bricks in the back if they need to get to somewhere to build something, um, lumber and things like that.
11:45That's why you need a lip gate.
11:49But I'm good with it, thank you.
11:58Um, when we get those vehicles like that, do we have them rust proof?
12:02Uh we'll either do it from the dealer or we'll we do have the capabilities to do that in-house um when manpower is available.
12:09And these have a bed in the back.
12:13They have that protective liner in the bed, yes.
12:19Commissioner Speedia.
12:21That's super germane, but kind of germane.
12:24Uh, how are we doing with our fleet for uh uh snowplush?
12:28As far as readiness, uh we're about 70 percent as of as of today.
12:35We are running, we're running everything through the shop still.
12:38Um we are three technicians short in the shop, so we are doing the best we can.
12:42We are a tad bit behind, but we will be ready for snow.
12:50Yeah, the other day, Tuesday, I think it was we went to work out at the wad.
12:56And there's your fleet lined up, they have plows on it, and uh is on the back, and it's raining out, and I get scared.
13:06I said, Do they know something on the weather?
13:12You practice and already to get the equipment ready for the weather, which is outstanding.
13:18Whether it's raining or snowing, we have to get the equipment ready.
13:21So if we're out there in the weather, we still have to get the equipment ready to go.
13:24So yep, rain or shine.
13:26We're out, we're out there getting everything ready to go.
13:28Thank you for that, but you're scared to heck out of I apologize for the fear.
13:37All right, well, we're we still have a pending motion, which is item B.
13:43Um, all of us in favor of the motion say aye.
13:50Thank you very much.
13:52So now we'll go on to engineering.
13:57Item A, uh, Commissioner Speedia.

14:18All those in favor of the motion say aye.
14:23Item C, uh, Commissioner Gregg.
14:26I move to approve the award of the construction contract for Tinker Road guard rail installation to CWS fence and guardrail of Andover, New Hampshire in the amount of 27,350.
14:36Funding is through 161 streets, fund general account classification 71 equipment.
14:43Good afternoon, Dan Hudson, uh City Engineer.
14:46So uh Tinker Row contains uh very sharp corn in the vicinity of number 360.
14:51Uh it's been the site unfortunately of a number of serious crashes uh over the past uh few years, uh including uh at least one that had uh multiple fatalities.
15:01Um we have taken a lot of measures to improve the safety by putting up signs.
15:07Um we've uh uh regraded the shoulder, we put some jersey barriers there as a temporary measure, but um this location is longing for a permanent treatment.
15:16So we uh bid out uh installation of guardrail and received one bid from CDL CWS fence and guard rail Vanover.
15:24Um there's only a few guardrail contractors really that do work in New England.
15:28CWS is is one of them, probably does the most work of of the ones that I'm aware of, and uh the bid was in line with um other bids we've seen for other projects, so we're uh recommending award of this contract to CWS.
15:48But you guys did a phenomenal job on it in attacking that issue head on quickly, and the people on preserve drive are absolutely static because they feel so much safer.
16:00Thanks to the street department.
16:01They they were great in making those improvements and mobilizing those those barriers to uh address the situation where people are running off the road and in the into the backyards of uh of the neighboring community there on preserved drive.
16:14And what's the timing on installation?
16:16Uh that's a good question.
16:17We have to we have to work with them, work into their schedule.
16:20So I'm I'm not exactly sure.
16:21I don't have a deadline for that yet, but we'll get it up as soon as we can.
16:29All those in favor of the motion say aye.
16:37Uh Commissioner Speed to you.

16:48Funding will be through departments 177 parks fund general activity really park improvements.
16:56Uh so this project is going along well.
16:58Um, you may have been by and seen the the roof uh missing, you know, the tiles.
17:03Um the new ones are coming, trust uh rest assured.
17:06Um, but there's a lot of other work that's uh been occurring in that project.
17:10Um and uh over the construction, there's been a series of small change orders.
17:15We have a three to date totally 19,341 dollars and thirty cents.
17:19Um this fourth change order that we are seeking to approve uh kicks us over the 25,000 dollar uh amount uh which which triggers um your your review and uh fund finance committee review.
17:32Um so we're seeking approval of that.
17:34The changes uh today, change order one.
17:36We uh we separated some of the water distribution system uh uh in the utility room for the various uses.
17:43Uh we extended the water service to a waiting pool.

17:58Change order three, we replaced some timber blocking on the roof tile due to some additional damage uh greater than we expected when we started.
18:05And uh this current change order was or is to install a tempered water system uh for the sinks because that's uh required per building department and um purchase and installation of two lighting foundations.
18:18There was some old utility pole mounted lights uh in the vicinity of the stone house, and we were replacing those with some decorative lighting.
18:26So be happy to address any additional questions.
18:33So that that building is like um or as it has been is kind of like up lit in the um is that gonna be assembly, those the lights you're talking about, and is it going to be a similar arrangement?
18:45No, the lights lights I'm referring to are uh they're you know, poles, uh single pole lights for the area outside of the building.
18:54Um we are improving the lighting inside the stonehouse, so in the I don't know what you call the the porch sort of area, the first area when you walk up into the building around the fountain there.
19:04Um there'll be some uh better uh lighting in that area, which which is downlit.
19:09Um I'm not personally familiar with the up lighting, but it's something we can review whether that should remain or not when we're all done.
19:15Once we get everything up to up to working condition and lit up, then we'll kind of we can reassess if anything should be changed.
19:21Okay, yeah, I appreciate it.
19:23The um I know one of the topics that we've covered is um light pollution and um I I want to say it's it's a ground light, but it could have been on an adjacent lamp post.
19:33It's kind of like a big um like a big old halogen type of um fixture.
19:38Um and depending on what the new lighting is like, that might be something that we could lose or uh shield um in a way that um reduces the light pollution.
19:55All right, all is in favor of the motion, sorry.
19:58All right, I motion passes.
20:00ground light but it could have been on an adjacent lamp post it's kind of like a big um like a big old halogen type of um fixture um and depending on what the new lighting is like that might be something that we could lose um or uh shield um in a way that um reduces the light pollution appreciated all right all is a favorable motion sorry aye all right i motion passes we have item e commissioner shay i move to approve change order number three to the 2025 sewer replacement project contract one with crisp contracting of Nashra New Hampshire and the amount not to exceed one million dollars funding will be through 169 wastewater fund bond activity sewer rehab uh so we at bid out 2025 sewer replacement uh contract crisp was a little bitter uh you know we had an entry contract within this year for uh to the tune of the 810830 dollars um they've been performing well we're seeking to uh and they've nearly expended all that funding we're seeking to change order in uh million dollars so that we can continue the work we're doing it will carry us well in the next year um to continue the work they're doing they've been doing things such as we're we have this extensive uh CCTV uh and then pipelining work we're doing um as we uh as we prep pipes for lining we realize there's some some of the manhole covers have been buried they need to be raised to grade sometimes there's long runs of pipe that didn't have a manhole in them or we need to add a manhole to facilitate that work so they've been doing that kind of work as well as uh uh crisp helps us with emergency repairs as they come up you know if we have a collapsed sewer main which we still have occasionally um they they they would mobilize and take care of that for us so and they've done some of that work this year so um that's what our request is to extend this contract um at the uh you know within the purchase policy uh rate increases if any um from their bid this year happy to address any questions anyone and I go ahead the they're a company in good standing at the attorney general's office yes yes did they shoot up the car yeah there's an issue that was resolved today yeah that kind of stuff gets gets um all the time it's it's yeah and and I am really appreciative that um we were able to get it resolved and didn't have to delay the item and um that's good but that's not what my question is about I surmise that from from these notes here okay good sorry but thank you um yeah I just want to confirm my understanding of this that the the 169 wastewater fund is uh from user fees is that is that correct it's that's correct this is funded from sewer bonds um so yeah it's it we pull annual bond um that that's I guess the account accounting that it runs through but this is sewer bond which is uh paid through sewer user rates appreciate it thank you welcome all those in favor of the motion say aye motion passes uh we're on to administration um and what we have is the director's report so this first slide uh shows RWC installing under drain um on that drive on October 6th to address historic drainage and icing issues uh city engineer just spoke a little bit about uh the greeley park stone health renovations uh cobb hill construction is completing renovation they recently started painting roofing and installation of new fixtures in the bathrooms uh as shown in these photos from october 13th uh morin's landscaping is shown installing loam in bicentennial park on october 6th and concrete pavers in renaissance park on october 16th if you haven't been down at look it's coming along really nice uh a new swing was installed at Bellevue deer park and uh also some new playground mulch all three you'll probably recall about the epoxy on the floors all three of our city pool locker rooms have had uh the epoxy applied and uh they look great the uh parks department will be very busy well into the fall uh with um aerification overseeding um and other field work this is lincoln park um being aerated the the parks department replanted the landscape bed in front of the library walk and odd fellows uh this is the parks department cutting out a worn out area uh and resotting it in at Holman Stadium we had a huge turnout for Boo Bash over 4,000 people it was a beautiful day uh last Saturday uh there's a haunted house trunk retreat pumpkin decorating hayride and and a fun maze and thanks to Alderman Clee for our her help with our haunted house we have over 700 boys and girls registered for our 2526 season of bitty basketball evaluations and drafts began this week and the season will begin in November we have two trips planned this fall the first is to see the Celtics play on October 29th and the second is a holiday season trip to New York City which is on December 13th.

26:43Enhancing pedestrian visibility and safety.
26:48Street department crew worked on a sinkhole at the catch basin in the parking lot of bicentennial school.
26:54The structure was unsafe and required immediate attention.
26:59The street department crew repaired a long stretch of sidewalk at 43 Parish Hill Drive.
27:04The sidewalk was in poor condition and had become a trip hazard.
27:11We continue our citywide effort to cut back overgrown brush.
27:15This crew was on Revere Street cleaning overgrowth using the mulcher head attached to our mini excavator.
27:24Our street department crews repaired the sidewalk at 51 Temple Street, making it ADA compliant.
27:30Again, the structure had deteriorated and become a safety hazard.
27:35This is the repairable washout at 32 Sullivan Street that had affected a resident's side yard.
28:00This again, you can tell how busy the street department is.
28:03They completed three manhole repairs along the riverwalk downtown behind the library and Temple Street.
28:13Our welder fabricated a custom leaf box for one of the parks department trucks to maximize capacity, ensure efficiency during fall cleanup.
28:21So this is just one of the many great things that our welter can do.
28:29Our fleet team, as as you had mentioned, asked about uh Commissioner Speedia.
28:35Um they're performing maintenance on all of our vehicles now.
28:38This is our one of our trackless sidewalk plows to ensure that we're ready for the winter.
28:45Residents with hazardous waste to dispose of can attend the last household hazardous waste collection for 2025, which will be at Trown Street on Saturday, November November 8th from 8 to noon.
28:59We will be having extended hours for soft wit yard waste drop-off.
29:03The landfill will be open from 8 to 4 on Saturday, November 8th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, and 29th for residents to drop off soft yard waste.
29:15The four hills landfill will be closed on Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
29:21Curbsite collection will be delayed by one day that week.
29:26And also uh the Four Hills landfill will be closed on Thursday, November 27th for Thanksgiving, and Curbside Collections for Thursday and Friday routes will be delayed by one day.
29:40Oh thank you very much.
29:46Um Commissioners Commons.
29:51Uh Commissioner Speaker.
29:53Yeah, I just want to say I um I saw the construction along Kinsley Street.
30:00I think a lot of folks have noticed it.
30:02Um, but I'm really thankful that the ball uh ballards are being put in.
30:07I think you know, I think some people like to treat Kinsley Street like a highway and go above the above the street limit quite often.
30:16So I think traffic calming measures along that street will be very helpful, and uh because there are a lot of residents who live on that street, so um excited to see it.
30:25I was very excited to see when they first got my remember when we approved it, and now seeing it being put in.
30:30I'm uh really excited for that.
30:38Sorry, I didn't know if I had to be called on.
30:40So we were we were actually canvassing near the Janats area, the Holman Stadium area on Sergeants.
30:47Um Sergeants in Campanella has a um uh playground, kind of in that area, like right near Holman Stadium on that on Sergeant Savage.
30:58One of the I I we heard enough from people in that area that they were super concerned about the barrier.
31:03So the way that it kind of works is it look it's basically like these posts with a poll that goes through the posts all the way across it, and it's high enough so that a kid could literally just run into traffic.
31:14And it's been uh it's been I guess a point of concern for those folks in that area um to see whether or not there could be some sort of fence or something that's actually put in there just to give a little bit more protection around that.
31:25Uh I just thought it was interesting that we heard not from one person, not from two, but probably about 15 in that in that area that they were super concerned about that barrier being the design that it was.
31:36So I just wanted to bring it up to to public works and folks.
31:40At least take a look at it, analyze it, see if there's anything that we can do.
31:42It looks like whatever was I mean, it almost looks like they were like the old horse posts.
31:47I don't know how long they've been actually been there, but they've obviously been there for quite some time where there's just a like kind of a poll that was just put through it to connect them.
31:54But yeah, I would would love it if somebody could do an analysis there because we we definitely heard enough from that group from that area that like they'd love something else.
32:03Okay, cool, appreciate it.
32:05Thank you for letting us know.
32:08I have a picture of it too that I can send you.
32:10It's interesting that you say that because that is one of my favorite playgrounds.
32:13I love that playground, and I never see any kids playing there, so it's good to hear it.
32:17Obviously, there are some might be the reason some family's using it, so that's good.
32:20Though kids definitely play there.
32:22Yeah, I never I rarely see kids playing there for some reason, but that's great.
32:27Well, the kids are getting bigger than well.
32:30I think I think there's a shift on the case.
32:31I mean it would take it on this patch where some there's less smaller children, probably, but uh I'm glad to hear kids are using it because it's a great playground.
