Journaling the Toledo City Journal...

As a way to keep up to date on what's going on in Toledo City Council, I've been reading the City Journal for a few weeks now. It gives you a summary of what was presented and voted on during that particular City Council meeting.

Most of it is pretty straight forward, however this Bid Proposal caught my eye:

Photography Services

For Recreation Programs & Special Events For The Department Of Parks, Recreation & Forestry

Sealed proposals will be received at the Purchasing office, 19th Floor, One Government Center, Suite 1970, Toledo, Ohio, 43604, until 2:00 p.m.(local time): TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2006, for the Administration Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation & Forestry. A pre-proposal conference will be held on Wednesday, February 22, 2006, beginning at 900 a.m. at the Department of Parks, Recreation & Forestry, 2201 Ottawa Park Dr., Toledo, OH 43606. All proposals must be made on the Proposal Form that with specifications, etc., may be obtained upon application at the Purchasing office.

General questions pertaining to the availability of the specifications or any other general information may be directed to the Purchasing Division, Carol Landin, a (419) 245-1155. Technical questions regarding the specifications should be directed to the Project Manager, Larry Anderson, Parks Administration, at (419) 936-2873.

I found it strange that the Parks, Recreation and Forestry department didn't have some one who could perform this as a part of events. However, since I know several of my readers are very good photographers? You might want to act on this opportunity.
