Re: Contract with Community Media Services Group LLC
In July of 2012, the City of Nashua entered into a contract with Community Media Services Group
LLC to operate, manage and coordinate the use of the City’s public access television channel. After
the initial contract, the City has continued this relationship on an annual renewable 12 month term
with increases of less than 10% per year,
At this time, we are initiating an RFP due to the length of time that has passed since the last formal
contract was negotiated and to ensure good business practices are being followed. On November 8,
2021 the City issued a letter of termination to Community Media Services LLC on the current
services. Administrative Services is working with the Cable Television Advisory committee to
develop a new Request for Proposals with an updated Scope of Work. We expect this RFP to be
issued within the next couple weeks.
We are requesting funding not to exceed $92,000 to go through June 30, 2022 to ensure we have
time for a complete RFP issuance/review/award, any contract negotiation and possible vendor
transition.
The decision to move forward with a new Request for Proposal comes from a City ordinance
requirement to put the business out for a RFP not out of a displeasure with the support and services
of the current provider.
