We’ve had issues in the past where hiring teams on state and federal gov’t projects won’t seriously consider a firm who hasn’t work on one of their projects before, even if we had extensive experience with the design type. Do you think this would be an issue for this project?

Please wait to refer to the solicitation. The solcitation will outline the requirements of the proposed DB teams.
