Bollards!
Five companies, including new Reston-based buddies Bechtel, have been selected to submit bids to build Phase 2 of the Metro Silver Line, (someday) extending everyone's favorite E-ticket ride from Wiehle Avenue to Dulles and the particleboard Valhallas beyond. The competitively bid contract will be awarded next May, but never fear, everyone will be a winner!
Even if they don’t win the contract to build the second phase of the Dulles Rail extension, the five firms selected Wednesday to bid on the project could each be eligible for a $1.5 million check from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.We couldn't agree more. And in the spirit of competition, respectfully attached is our own carefully crafted proposal for Phase 2:
“It’s considered to be the standard in industry,” said Eric Carey, contracting officer for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail project. “We need to offer a stipend in order to get competitive bids. Otherwise, we won’t get the response we want or won’t get competitive pricing.”
You're welcome. Airports authority, feel free to just Paypal us the $1.5 million when you get a chance. Thx!

ReplyDeleteHey, that's true in other industries, too!
For example, it's considered standard industry practice for a john at a strip joint to generously throw dollar bills on the stage of a binder full of dancing women before one of the women in stripper heels included in the binder will escourt the john to the lap dance room where anything goes...for an additional price, of course.
Bechtel and their 4 ripoff binder buddies in stripper heels certainly deserve the 1.5M in dollars bills that will be thrown on the stage because dancing for government contracts IS workin' hard for the money.
After all the dollars bills settle down on the dance floor it should be interesting to see which corporate binder in stripper heels wins the lap dance in the VIP room
Restonian should get an additional $350,000 bonus for correctly using vanishing point perspective in his "proposal."
ReplyDeleteAll those millions that Hugdins could use for earmarks and to shoehorn still more "workforce" housing into Reston for her potential new voters? Going instead to the 1 percenters! What a shame!
ReplyDeleteI think we may have inadvertently uncovered Restonians nefarious terrorist plot to take down the MWAA. Did you notice that the airplane is shooting missiles a the airport?
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's something more sinister to this Restonian than his/her/its disarmingly silly, Pro-Reston propaganda machine.
