RFP? We don’t need no stinkin’ RFP! February 4 2010
The Times Herald is reporting that soliciting bids for County work without the required five RFP’s is apparently CBIZness business as usual. For two of the three commissioners, at least:
Montgomery County approved a $35 million bond issue Thursday, but may have violated a 1998 ordinance that requires request for proposals be sent out seeking competitive bids for bond counsel.
When Commissioner Bruce L. Castor Jr. raised the issue just before the vote, Solicitor Barry Miller said the county had not sent out the required five RFPs for the legal work to be performed by Cozen O’Connor and Pepper Hamilton law firms.
Commissioners James R. Matthews and Joseph M. Hoeffel voted to approve the bond issue; Castor voted against it.
Color me shocked—SHOCKED, I tell you—-that the vote on this bond counsel issue went down as it did.
And speaking of RFP’s, the infamous CBIZ RFP apparently appeared on Mr. Castor’s desk today, if not exactly by “magic,” at least free of charge. If you haven’t read it yet, don’t miss the whole story on Bill Shaw’s WRITEMARSH.
