Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 2195862, member: 686"] It all depends on how the RFQ/RFP is put forth. SU/Onondaga County/NY State (whoever will be the ultimate owner is putting the project out to bid) can put in as many demands/requirements for the construction and concession contract as they want. If bidders can't work with the requirements, they don't bid or they carve out items in their bid with the understanding that it might hurt them, particularly if other bidders will comply. For example, you can stipulate that design creativity will be more or less heavily weighted than, say schedule flexibility, or some other criteria. There are lots of ways to get a good product - it's not always just a cost and time compromise. [/QUOTE]
