Working in Government Contracting and seeing RFPs a lot, this isn't structured to ham-string NYRA -- every RFP I've ever seen is quick turn around, and can seem more complex to those who don't deal with them regularly.<BR/><BR/>This looks to be SOP.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801414754458604594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1150321177368214102006-06-14T17:39:00.000-04:002006-06-14T17:39:00.000-04:00RFPs are something I have some experience with(I w...RFPs are something I have some experience with(I work in government). I would think the potential bidders have very good idea how the RFP is structured and have been working on their proposals for a while now(the vendor community is a small world). They won't feel that rushed. As for the state reviewing the proposals, the proposals will be farmed out internally and analyzed more quickly than you might think.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874325506841146077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1150311933529754152006-06-14T15:05:00.000-04:002006-06-14T15:05:00.000-04:00Timing appears structured to make it impossible fo...Timing appears structured to make it impossible for NYRA. They are the least likely to have the resources to meet a tight deadline. Where do they get the funds to hire professionals to prepare the proposal. Doubt very much they have such people in house to do this typr of work. Will never be able to compete with the new bidders, especially when they are all upstate. Politics is all it is but we all know that.<BR/><BR/>Say goodbye to NYRA, thier only hope is if the courts rule they actually do own the land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
