Did anyone else get their bound copy of the new bus specs?

I came home tonight to a big fat UPS envelope from the CTA. I was hoping it was a 30 day pass filled envelope of happiness. It turned out to be a spiral bound copy of the specs for the hybrid articulated buses the CTA is looking to buy. There are a few addendums which I haven't been able to look at. Who else got one?

Any reason why you would get one in the mail?

I mentioned that I downloaded the original.

But apparently you provided real identifying information. I didn't.

I'm somewhat surprised that they would send one to someone whose name wasn't New Flyer or Nova, but I guess they are obligated to do so.

[ryanbytes]

I wouldn't think I'm the only one that did submit real information. We shall see.

How large was the download?

Also, how many pages is the bound copy?

[ryanbytes]

The bound copy is a about 230 pages.

Where did you download it? 'Cause I sorta wanna take a look of it if it's still available online. :)

Go to transitchicago.com, pull down Business, then Procurement Information, then click on Contract Opportunities, then Supplies, then the number opposite the RFP for up to 900 hybrid buses, and then REGISTER TO DOWNLOAD PDF. That gets you to the registration screen, which, as indicated in my dialog with ryanbytes, above, you have to deal with.

Alright, thanks a bunch! :)

I guess we can figure out who proposer #1 is. However, I wonder about all the kvetching, especially about warranties, since CTA is using the standard spec.
