- Producing publication-ready cartographic figures for Deliverable 1.1 (Existing Conditions Report) and Deliverable 3.1 (Commercial Infill Framework).
- Preparing exportable web map layers for community presentations.

This is a structured, deliverable-based milestone subcontract (~25–35 billable hours across the project lifecycle; approximately $2,500–$4,000 FFP).
