From the meeting
A services agreement and engagement letter dated September 18, 2026 showed the city had selected Wood & Lamping, LLP for zoning code consulting and drafting services. The firm was to advise and draft amendments to the city's zoning code, including signage, rehab housing, vape shops, data centers, and related ordinance changes. The hourly rates were set at $225 for Kathleen Ryan and Hanna Puthoff, with those rates held through the end of budget year 2027.
The document showed the engagement was already selected and moving into contract administration.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Town of Newton issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Newton's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
