No wonder they ran out of money. You got to love the GSA and their bidding process! Yap, a company puts in a bid on a project, they are the lowest bidder and then they run out of funds. So what do they do, go back and ask for more money. Now, what happened to all the other companies that actually put in competent bids to get the job done? What a wast of time and money.
