Other sources besides Polaris
Crazy idea - Has anyone else besides Polaris been abel to quote on this. Usually these one party contracts mean Mr Adams wants it real bad and the salesmen know that. Then the taxpayer gets screwed since a city commissioner really doesnt have the training to evaluate a quote and he doesn't trust BES' decision.
If we could bring some competition to the table and compare quotes, you might be surprised. Heck, let them have each others quotes and rip 'em apart.I mean has Polaris ever done a project like this before? Or are we going to get another water billing computer?
I don't see why we are having BES spend more time and energy when they already gave you their opinion.
