Greeley Park Wading Pool Construction

The City of Nashua is seeking Bids from qualified firms to build a new wading pool at Greeley Park. The

current wading pool was built in 1923 and the new wading pool will be built in the same location as the

current wading pool so demolition of the old wading pool would have to take place first. The water line

that feeds the wading pool comes off of Concord Street. This main line will also need to be replaced as

it was installed in 1928.

The chosen contractor must provide all labor and materials to achieve the scope of work.

Project will begin once a written “Notice to Proceed” is issued.

Work can begin June 30, 2025. This project must be completed no later than April 24, 2026.

Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be assessed for delays beyond April 24, 2026.

The City of Nashua, through the Mayor, who is awarding authority, reserves the right to reject any and

all bids or parts of bids; to waive any defects, information, and minor irregularities; to accept exceptions

to these specifications; to award contracts or to cancel this request if in the City’s best interest.
