WD iParametries @mel Av PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF NASHUA
: ie ARPA ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
3. Proposed Work Plan
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all aspects of communities across the United States, and the residents
of the City of Nashua are no exception. The strains caused by COVID-19 have been felt by individuals, families, small businesses,
schools, and even local governments. While federal aid (like the aid presented by the Amencan Rescue Plan Act) can provide relief
from pandemic tensions, it is important to first have a proper plan in place to ensure such relief programs reach their fullest potential.
Our approach to program delivery has been honed over decades of practical experience to deliver maximum efficiency — so
assistance reaches those in need quickly.
Like the inital release of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act CRF funds, our team anticipates that
ARPA guidelines wall continue to change. The final rule has yet to be released and a significant number of comments were received
at the July 16" deadline, Our team has agency relationships and expenence in changing expectations with federal funding, including
in our current partnerships in the federal goverment and a deep understanding of the grant management and program
implementation of COVID-19 relief programs, including the CARES Act, ARPA, and FEMA PA. We stand well-equipped to advise
the City of Nashua on speedy adjustments as guidance for this program is released and continues to evolve.
