To me this was a project, and one that would have it's own payment schedule laid out. That is how a business works with the government. Now if that business fails to deliver, getting the next contract could be tough. I have put together a few proposals for governmental work. They took the lowest bidder and gave them half the $ and got nothing back. I never came in low ;-> One was for a property management system at the courthouse. The other was for a patient transportation system for our state run health care system. What a stupid idea to give transportation to anyone who asked to go to the doctor. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
