Deadline extended for SAO consultant list projects
Due to concerns about the e-mail notification process (see article 2 below), SAO has extended the deadline for two requests for qualifications (RFQs): Project number DAS-080777 (SAO-ES Energy Consultant List) and project number DAS-080999 (SAO Consultant List – Supplemental). The new deadline for statements of qualifications is Friday, April 11.
To view the RFQs for these projects, go to the OAKS Capital Improvements Web site at http://ci.oaks.ohio.gov and click on “Current RFQs.”
RFQ notifications update
In November 2007, the OAKS Capital Improvements team announced the new request for qualifications (RFQ) process and subscription service to receive e-mail notifications when an RFQ is posted to the site. Over the last few months, the team has noticed several bounced e-mail notifications. Notifications are sent as a bulk e-mail which may be interrupted by your company's spam blocker. If you signed up for notifications but are not receiving them, please contact your company's IT department for more information to allow these notifications. Also, please continue to check the OAKS Capital Improvements Web site at http://ci.oaks.ohio.gov regularly so that you are not missing new RFQs or important updates and/or deadline changes to the RFQs.
