Deadlines
I’m not a guy who does a lot of crying about deadlines. They’re a part of my job on a daily basis. But sometimes you’ve got to wonder about the timing.
When it comes to City Hall, I’ve heard people complain, usually after the deadline has passed, that the date was set in order to skew the results for a particular vendor, developer or contract bidder.
It’s also not unheard of to hear of complaints that requests for proposals are written to favor one bidder over others.
Now here’s something interesting: I’ve stumbled across a request for proposals for the Core to Shore central park design. Response time? It looks to be about two weeks.
Get ready City Hall. I’m coming calling with some questions.
UPDATE: I’m getting conflicting info on all this. Is it simply a deadline to express interest or is it something more? I hope to find out for sure on Monday.

I can vouch for Steve in saying that he is far from lazy when it comes to giving us the latest in Oklahoma City (re)development.
Sorry, that latter part was tongue-and-cheek. Either way, the point is, I love this blog and the genius behind it. You have great “stuff”…
Whose blog even contains this info on a regular basis? Usually I’ve seen people using Steve’s info, not the other way around.
I have been noticing that you are rather lazy when it comes to reporting. You do nothing more than regurgitate other peoples blogs. Go get some original “stuff”…
