Request for Quotes Proposal Pg.02
The RKG Associates Team will use an existing policy structure from another community of the
staffs preference (or of the RKG Team’s recommendtation) and modify it to reflect the results
of the initial workshop with the Alderman. This approach will be possible only if the results of
the first workshop are consistent with an existing policy known and accessible to the City staff
and/or RKG Associates.
Task 3: Policy Refinement
RKG Associates will refine the draft inclusionary zoning policy based on the results of workshop
#2 with the Aldermen. RKG will provide City staff the revised policy for review and comment
prior to the final workshop.
Task 4: Inclusionary Zoning Policy Document
RKG Associates will craft an approval-ready policy for submission to City staff and the City’s
legal counsel. This policy will be crafted in accordance with New Hampshire state statues
governing planning and zoning law. RKG will work closely with staff and the City’s legal
counsel to ensure the policy meets both city and state requirements, can replace the existing
inclusionary zoning policy, and minimizes conflicts with other sections of the City’s zoning
ordinance.
Task 5: On-Call Technical Assistance
This task provides for up to 40 hours of on-call assistance from RKG Associates to the City staff
to address any unforeseen needs related to the development and submission of the inclusionary
zoning policy. This can include, but not be limited to, additional Alderman meetings (either as
a group or individual) and further technical research/financial modeling of potential policy
alternatives. RKG Associates will only bill these hours if used and will notify City staff before
initiating this work. If the City exhausts the 40-hour allocation, additional hours can be added
through a contract amendment.
