Posted by Hank Eisenstein on Mon Apr 26 11:21:18 2010, in response to Re: R188 order goes to. . ., posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Apr 25 14:50:43 2010. If you read the documentation, the contract requires that the cars be 100% compatible with existing NTT cars, and the only qualified bidders are those that built the A Division NTT cars. Bombardier is the only other company to build NTT cars for the A division, and they indicated that they declined to submit a proposal. So Kawasaki will win the bid; this summary says 'skip the bidding process, we MUST go with this contractor.' |
