INSTRUCTIONS TO CONSULTANTS

1. INTRODUCTION

The Weston Board of Education (the “Board”) is seeking qualifications and proposals from experienced communications and public engagement consultants to support communications regarding the proposed construction of a new Weston Middle School.

Following an evaluation of facilities conditions, educational needs, and potential alternatives, the Weston Board of Education has voted to pursue a new middle school.

The project will require continued planning, coordination, and approval by Weston residents through a referendum.

The Board seeks a consultant to develop and implement a communications and community engagement strategy that provides residents with clear, accurate, and accessible information about the project. This is a town-wide initiative, requiring a collaborative effort with various town boards, including the Board of Selectmen and

Board of Finance. The consultant must be proficient in gathering input from all parties and creating a cohesive message. The consultant will serve as an external representative of the project, helping residents understand the educational, facilities, and financial considerations involved.

This opportunity has been publicly advertised through the Invitation to Bid attached as

Exhibit A. The contract will be awarded to the Consultant determined and selected by the

Board in the manner described in Section 7 of these Instructions.

The Board reserves the right to amend or withdraw this Request for Proposals
