CAMBER has reviewed
the Boulder County RFP
Evaluation report and we are appalled.
- The committee
has failed in its duty to report these facts about the HART InterCivic
proposal:
- It does not
comply with the RFP requirements
- It violates
Colorado
law
- The committee
wrongly recommends changing the RFP terms after the bids have been
submitted. This stinks to high heaven. The county will be
accused of rigging the bid.
The RFP is for a lease not a sale,
and there is no mention that lease costs would be credited against a future
purchase.
Disclosure of these two deal sweeteners would likely
have attracted additional bid responders and cost the county less. Adopting
them would substantially rig any future
purchase in HART's favor.
- Details in
the report are wrong (hopefully innocently). It is absolutely not
true, for example, that the HART system is ?the most universally accessible
certified system available at this time?. AutoMark is more accessible,
is certified nationally and by most states (not Colorado), and is
available at this time.
AutoMark was suspiciously denied
Colorado
certification. HART?s equipment suffers from the identical problem
used by the Secretary of State to deny AutoMark certification.
Something fishy is going on in the Secretary of State's
office.
