			<description>I was just sick to learn of the back-room politics going on with Ac Amb and this administration.  This back handed way of giving your friends and contributors the inside scoop and making the rules to favor those people are old time Long politics.  I was so disappointed in the Durel administration for pulling this stunt.  It puts his whole term in doubt and his reputation under the rug.  Its low and disgusting.  I question every appointment he's made, every person who works for him, every decision he's made.  Is he representing the people of this parish or his friends????? - Morrow</description>

			<description>This isn't surprising but isn't necessarily wrong in my opinion.  While not in government I know plenty who are or have been.  You must go to bid for most projects.  The problem is that some vendors out there will bid it low to get the work but in the end the total cost of ownership (TCO) or lack of support etc.  becomes a major headache.  

Typically on a bid like this you aren't going to see huge price differences.  I know because approx. two years ago I put GPS on all company vehicles.  I might have saved a couple of bucks with an out of state company but was much more comfortable with the local support at only minimal cost.  Why shouldn't we support our local businesses as long as the cost is comparable?  I would compare it to an import tax.  If local company X can be within a certain percentage they should get the contract over an out of state company that doesn't employee our residents or contribute in other manner to our tax base. - BPW</description>

			<description>Seeing as they don't know if future funding will be available...DUH!!!

How about NO GPS tracking for a year or two or better yet, NEVER!

Oh and what happened to the first &quot;efficiency example&quot;?
La. Department of Agriculture. 
 
Now we are copying bid specs from a county in Tennessee. - BUD</description>

			<description>A friend just sent me this and I can't say I'm surprised. With Joey, D and their henchmen this has become de rigueur for example, the Red Light camera project/the fiber to the home project etc. Examine what is said; 'council reluctance made him rebid', a monkey would have known  the money situation before submitting the contract! Remedial Bidding 101 shows how to use alternate options to cope with the scarcity/capriciousness of funds. Additionally flat fees/lump sums are signs of ignorance of how to write contracts because the author doesn't know the technical details which he is attempting to get implemented. Most of the IT Implemented changes are direct copies of what was done in N. Orleans, a Xerox machine could have done as much a lot cheaper and saved the citizens many $. These guys get hugh salaries and don't know beans about their jobs. On a related note, how many of them have even taken a management, let alone contract writing class. Most times these individuals have waded way too far from shore.      - Voodoo science</description>

			<description>Another typical R_F_P - created for &quot;Relatives_Friends_and_Payola&quot;
If LCG isn't sure if they'll have funding for next year, why are they increasing the number of units in the RFP?  Also, the companies that are submitting bids are suppliers of tracking hardware and software.  These suppliers are NOT in the electronics business which is a requirement of the bid =&gt; Supplying 4 - 42&quot; Flat Screen Monitors?  Who's family member works at an electronics store?  
LCG should purchase a few units from each supplier, test them side-by-side, then make their decision based on performance!  Lastly, why'd they cancel the original bids versus adding an addendum for the additional clauses and technical updates they're requiring? - Taking care of Friends</description>

			<description>Why should this come as a surprise? Mr. Zuschlag has built his ambulance monopoly by buying local elected officials(?) from mayors, councilmen, police jurors and sheriffs from inception.... - justwundering</description>
