It refers to project management but for some reason doesn't indicate that they need someone with a PMP designation which would seem to be an obvious requirement for a project of this scope. It eludes to the concept of being able to have an amateur do the job. That is unless I missed that criteria in the RFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winning bid could be some project management company on Bay Street staffed by people that have never been north of Steeles Ave' before the May 2-4 weekend or after Labour Day.

He is a good choice too, but is building a house - therefore too busy in my opinion. Maybe he and Sledjunk could split the job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceman Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 This reads like the former Mike Farr job. It was loud and clear at AGM that there is a complete lack of trust between members and OFSC. Reason is pretty simple, no or very little communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much secrecy in this sport, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I just book at the last minute like Blake does. If it doesn't snow and conditions are bad, lots of places refuse refunds to sledders. If you are flexible and go mid week, rooms are not usually an issue, unless march break.

soupkids Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The biggest problem is how to distribute the information to everyone. With online only the clubs have a long wait to get the info of who selected their club to get the information out. We used to send a news letter every month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of 4:00pm today our club has sold 125 FS and Classic permits (vs 93 last season). The report shows purchaser info and sled info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps $80K may even be a bit on the low side dependent upon the skillset and experience the person brings to the job and any areas of expertise or specialization that may be required. A PMP may well be looking in the $90K+ range plus benefits / bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only secrecy I see is laziness Blake, people expect info to be hand delivered to them while they sit on their couch, rather then getting involved and going to meetings and asking questions about the info they are trying to absorb. It's not like you can keep people properly up to speed on an umbrella corp with 200+ entities with a combined annual budget of $18-20 mil with news letters and reports. People will have questions and if they don't use the correct channels to get the answers they will make their own ... which has been a constant in this sport.
