Marshall Gunter re progress with the $40M multi-year contract, "the feild has been pruned significantly, but we are still standing"
Could be fantastic news for DM any day now

Still could go to another tender [ according to Marshal ], so by no means this contract is not a slam dunk .

I still can not figure out why they made this an official news release the other day .

I believe what I read was, that they have gotten past the first two stages of the process… GLTA

He actually mentioned though I forget the exact wording something like "We are required to report on the status of the bid" or something. He isn't trying to trick us into thinking its a slam dunk. I'lll see if I can find the exact words.

if they are required to report the status of the bid then the other companies should also be required. Has anyone seen NR from other companies? If not then I would suspect it's basically a done deal. But we'll see

Unless i'm mistaken, not all company's are publicly trading thus not required to report within these rules.

If this is a customer requirement that every company must comply, shouldn't we see other companies announcing this too? I can't find any other news release about a 40 million bidding.

You can't find other announcements because, to my understanding they are alone! Also on my previous post I forgot the Drone company that will clear the path for new markets or waiting ones...

What I read out is that the competitors have to prove that they can meet all the expectations and capacity of delivery . They have to answer some questions in different areas and get points for that. Whoever has the most points and meets all the requirements will be the first choice to be invited to a meeting , which will then most likely lead to a contract .

I'm expecting an annoumcement any day now on the contract. Why? An election is expect to be called next week so they want to announce prior to election so as not to delay contract. Otherwise, if may be announced after the election which i doubt will happen just in case there is a channge in gov't. This is my opinion.

Yes, the Feds are sending out $500 cheques to seniors next week and promising they will raise the OAS Pension by 10% starting next July. With the funds arriving next week I would also surmise the call for an election will happen at the same time -- not that they would be trying to bribe us to vote for them :-))
