What do you mean " retrofit ".

I don't believe this is, or will be, anything close to the final bidding process. And, there is zero chance " a winner " will be chosen by September 15th.

i'm just going by what the article states.

June 30th - deadline for filing intentions to bid.
Aug. 15 - deadline to submit bid.
Sept. 15 - state committee announces proposed winner.
2007 - state legislature approves winning bidder.

Apparantly you do have to have some sort of bid in place by Aug 15th, but due to the nebulous concept of what you're bidding for, it seems like....well, let's just say, an odd situation.

This one has a LONG way to go and it should be pretty entertaining.

i think you're right. but the june 30th deadline to submit an intent to bid seems clear enough. then we'll all know at least who is bidding. after that , the bids are supposed to be in by aug. 15 and the winner recommended by Sept 15...you would think these would be sealed bids...but i agree, it should add to the intrigue of the Saratoga meet as the pressure mounts on the bidders.

Somehow I have a tough time believing the recommendation of the Ad Hoc commitee will be the final sayso.
