An RFP so ridiculous it's worth sharing.
Perhaps I am reading this wrong--I haven't finished my coffee yet--but this RFP was in my inbox this morning from a local town of about 50,000 people.
The scope of services states: Town is seeking bids from qualified contractors to provide full service maintenance agreement, including all parts and labor, for the Town's computer system.
This reads to me as: "We want someone to take care of each server for $125/year and any excluded services will be charged at $75/hr. And not just $11/mo per server, but all parts included too."
I would like to think the IT Director of a town of this size would not be so out of the loop. We are in a high CoL area to boot.
