Did anyone happen download the RFP bid document for the electronic fare management system and still have it to share? I found the council report, but I can't find the bid documents. Hard to believe the RFP was issued in January 2014 and awarded in June of 2014 for service in mid-2015; you'd think Bombardier won the bid or something.
I was just curious if there were any penalties for not delivering a working system on time and other details.
If it helps, the original files were located:
ftp.region.waterloo.on.ca/transportation/efms/P2014-01_Electronic_Fare_Management_System.docx
ftp.region.waterloo.on.ca/transportation/efms/P2014_01_EFMS_Compliance_Matrix.xlsx
Also, does anyone know what the latest reason(s) are for the on-going delay with the EFMS? I will need tickets for my son soon, should I get them now, or wait a bit if the fare card be out soon?
Thanks!
Finally, I had to laugh when I saw this photo on GRT's twitter feed highlighting the scraped-clean-to-the-pavement Ion stop instead of one its own poorly cleared stops:
