I.
Mobile One Stop Update
The WIB through
its fiscal agent, Chesapeake College, released the RFP for a
Mobile One Stop. The RFP included the Mobile One Stop and an
option for a trade in of the existing vehicle. The RFP asked
vendors to be creative in the floor plan and to incorporate as
many of the characteristics of a “bricks and mortar” One Stop
into the design as possible. The RFP was advertised in the local
newspapers, was posted on the Chesapeake College web page and
was sent to 13 specialty vehicle manufacturers.
The Steering
Committee agreed to place the results of the RFP process on the
WIB agenda for a decision about the next step in the procurement
process.
