There has been confusion about the scope of the project. A new word document has been added to the bid request to provide a final overview. (ScopeClarification-April30-09) Please review this document and change your bid if necessary. (This project involves a lot of work and some of the low bidders may have underestimated.) In this document I have also asked for a clarification of your organization's project management credentials. The winning bid will be selected on the basis of; price, RentACoder rating, project management skills and 'undestanding of the project requirements'. Your time and trouble are much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Brian Egan. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Monday May 4, 2009 10:07:11 PM: Hello Thank you for your patience. One last question. I am interested to know if any companies have experience with the 'Velocity' scripting language. This is the language that Ultracart uses for its content management system and will be important for integrating with their services. A reference manual (600pps + 10MB download) is available at the Ultracart web site. (On the right had column there is a 'free support' link. The reference manual is available from there.) Being familiar with Velocity would be a significant advantage. Thanks Brian.
