Nine companies, none of which were revealed at this time, are vying to win the bid to build a
citywide wireless network for Grand Rapids, Michigan.
According to city officials, a condition that the bidders must meet is that they will build, own, and manage the
network at no cost to the city or taxpayers.
Here's the timeline for the project:
- Finalists will be selected on May 30 (no word yet as to how many finalists will be chosen)
- Interviews will be conducted with the finalists on June 12
- The winning bidder will be chosen on July 13
- Development of the network begins during the week of October 22
It appears that Grand Rapids has its ducks in a row, so it'll be interesting to see who will win the bid.
