As I said once before, you have to learn how to do an RFP then.
Besides, that's computers, not home repair. And not on topic.
I"ve done a LOT of RFP's and also RFQ's et al, but I don't give
away the store doing so. You could probably benefit from a good
seminar on the topic. Education never stops and only change is
constant.
