Public RFP Oversight-Overhaul-Overseers Committee needed NOW...
In light of the "64 Durfee Street" RFP award to Peabody Construction and the highlights of recent letters to the editor, we as concerned taxpayers, with City Council sponsorship, should take action to create a committee to become part of local government, its quasi-private agencies and its economic development / redevelopment authorities process to keep the public informed on future RFP processes.
We must move forward with a much needed public RFP oversight committee and reform the black hole of RFP construction awards. The committee must help map the unwritten course many RFP's seem to sail?
I will help in any committee that is willing to take this on and prepare a working document to support the true validity of awarding of RFP's on city owned buildings.
This sub-committee could be a task force for the City Council's Real Estate Committee once properties such as older school buildings are transferred to the same.

Does this make sense? Any takers...
