PART A. SCOPE OF WORK NARRATIVE
. Administration And Management
The Operation and Management of the Public Access Channel is not much different from
running a small commercial television station, with the exception that hosted programs are
prerecorded, and Nashua residents are allowed to borrow camera equipment and submit video
content for dclayed broadcast.
The tasks called for in the RFP will be accomplished by a team of specialists:
scope of work at the time we are ready to implement and bearing in mind what options the city
would like to select,
We priced each year of our proposal scparatcly, combincd to $506,800 for the projected 3-year
contract. We recognize that this represents an increase of about $35,000 per year over what is
currently paid to the P-Channel contractor, but quite reasonable given the enhanced operation we
propose to reach a significantly incrcased viewership.
