Scope of Work
Scope for Nashua Citywide Plan
Task 1: Project initiation (Month 1)
To start the project, Utile will lay the groundwork for efficient and holistic operations
before beginning the planning process in earnest.
1.1 Internal Kick-off (Call)
Utile will work with a growp of internal stakeholders within the City government to
clarify expectations of the comprehensive planning process. This conversation will cover
the plan’s focus areas (including and in addition to the statutorily-required elements), the
public engagement plan, and expectations for the plan’s final deliverables (including
land use plans, zoning amendments, infrastructure plans, and more). This conversation
will be key to establishing internal support for the comprehensive planning process.
Deliverables: Meeting minutes and a summary of meeting outcomes.
1.2 Branding & Style Guide
Public outreach campaigns see the most success when they have a clearly recognizable
brand and a consistent visual language. By establishing stylistic rules early on, the
consultant team and the City will save time and energy otherwise spent on ad hoc
decision-making needs later on.
Deliverables: Logo and visual style guide.
1.3 Information Needs Assessment
Utile will assess the data and materials needed from the City of Nashua in order to
complete later tasks in the plan, and we will furnish that list to the City early in the
process. Early information sharing will create efficiencies later in the planning process.
Utile has already received a list of existing GIS information available from the City, but
expects that some additional potential datasets related to ongoing development patterns,
such as permitting or development pipeline data, would help expedite the existing
conditions analysis.
Deliverables: Written checklist outlining consultant data needs from the City of
Nashua.
1.4 Engagement Plan
A thorough engagement plan is necessary to ensure the voices of all stakeholders are
heard tn this process. Working closely with City staff, Utile will identify the
constituencies, organizations, and individuals needed to shape the comprehensive plan.
We will then lay out a timetable and budget for each engagement activity. The plan will
also explicitly create procedures to incorporate findings from public outreach into the
plan development process.
Deliverables: Written engagement plan with schedule.
1.5 Project Schedule
Once expectations for the process are set, Utile will craft a specific project schedule,
incorporating time needed for analysis, engagement, zoning review, plan development,
