RE: Approval of ICON Architecture Contract A Feasibility Study Of
Millyard Land
The enclosed documents include a contract for your approval where we will be looking to enter
into a feasibility study with ICON Architecture. The services sought focus on architectural
design services to help develop a concept plan for the remnant land leftover in the Nashua Mill
Yard owned by the city. The primary deliverable for this initiative is the development of a
concept plan on 3.5 to 4.0 acres of land. A map delineating the primary study area has been
included.
There will be a secondary deliverable in that a very high-level master plan for the ancillary
property owned by the city is also expected. The purpose of this request is to outline potential
building envelopes on the available land area. Furthermore, the City will be looking for content
that demonstrates a certain aesthetic design to act as an inspiration for future development in the
Mill Yard. This plan should act as an overall strategic plan for all the various pieces of land of
interest.
These services were competitively procured and the source of funds is from a calendar year 2021
escrow for $105,000.
THANK YOU.
