RFP #113085: Purchase of a Location for a Day Resource Center
The county is re-issuing an RFP for a site for a Day Resource Center for the homeless in order to broaden the search from a location in central Madison to include sites which may be farther away from the central city, but which have access to bus service. Some sites which may be appropriate from a facility standpoint may not be located in the central city, but if bus service is available, they could now be considered in the search.
The RFP listed above is now available on the Dane County Purchasing Division web site at www.danepurchasing.com Click on Open RFPs and Bids, Purchasing, then scroll down to the RFPs.
Thank you for your interest in doing business with Dane County.

The list clearly isn’t complete, because I am aware of other properties that were also sent to them. And will make sure that they get sent again, I guess. I know some people don’t want to keep looking and just want to do the MARC building on Lien Rd. I still think it is worth it to explore other closer options if we UNBELIEVABLY are going to be looking at a screwed up temporary situation again this winter for the THIRD FREAKING YEAR IN A ROW. I’m so sick of the incompetence or failure to make this a priority.
Again, please send in any ideas!
