Glocester awards $22,000 branding contract to Ashley Peck Creative; contract signing authorized
Summary
The council approved the Economic Development Commission's recommendation to award place‑branding services to Ashley Peck Creative LLC and Tunney Sharpener Consulting LLC for $22,000 and authorized the council president to sign the contract.
The Glocester Town Council on March 6 approved the Economic Development Commission’s recommendation to award place‑branding services (RFP 2024‑01) to Ashley Peck Creative LLC and Tunney Sharpener Consulting LLC for a total bid price of $22,000. The Board of Contracts and Purchases had unanimously recommended the award after the EDC secured the additional funding to match designated ARPA funds; the finance director presented the recommendation to council.
Council then authorized the council president to sign the fixed‑fee $22,000 contract. The town solicitor reviewed the contract and indicated satisfaction; the motion to authorize signature passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The branding work is intended to support EDC efforts to promote local businesses, attract new investment and guide economic‑development communications. The award follows the EDC's second round of bidding and is contingent on the EDC’s confirmation of matched funds allocated for the project.
Next steps: The council president will execute the contract and staff will coordinate with the EDC on contract deliverables and timeline; the finance director will record the executed contract in town records.
