City of Nashua City-Wide Pedestrian Infrastructure Conditions Assessment and Ranking
Phase 3: Public Outreach
NRPC will use an on-line public engagement platform to “ground truth” field survey results. This effort
will focus on an interactive map component that would allow the public to pinpoint areas of concern
and provide comments, particularly on a more granular level such as sidewalk segment, crosswalk, etc.
For those participants not inclined to use a map tool, a simple form can help capture feedback. Public
outreach would also include a final on-line presentation in a webinar format. This work will build upon
the pilot project results available at https://www.publicinput.com/NashuaBikePed. Final deliverables
will include map input, survey results and public presentation materials.
STAFFING:
To accomplish field work in a single season, two crews consisting of two persons will be needed. In the
field, one individual will run the iPad and the other will conduct field observations and measurements.
In the back-office, the team will complete post-processing, address QA/QC issues, and schedule the field
work. NRPC will staff one of the two-person crews, and the City will provide another two-person crew.
NRPC will be responsible for training and general oversight of both crews to ensure quality control
during the project, however the hiring and general management of the City’s crew, including any
disciplinary matters, remains the responsibility of the City.
Coordination of training, data quality control, analysis and mapping will be the responsibility of NRPC’s
Senior GIS Planner. NRPC will work closely with the City’s Division of Public Works (DPW) and
Community Development Department (CDD) staff on public outreach efforts.
EQUIPMENT:
Both NRPC and the City will be responsible for supplying their crew the following equipment:
e Use of a vehicle
e iPad with ArcGIS Collector (cellular-equipped)
e Bad Elf GPS receiver
e Misc. small equipment totaling less than $100: (iPad case, measuring tape, laser level, etc.)
e Safety vests and other gear as required by the respective organizations
TIMELINE:
The project timeline is largely dependent on the scheduling and progress of the field crews. Assuming
Nashua’s crew is working 4-5 days a week and NRPC’s is working 3-4 (largely dependent on vehicle
availability), field work is expected to take approximately 16 weeks.
