Hi Mark  -

These timelines have evolved over a few years of running these RFPs. If 
you know of someone who would bid, but needs more time, please let us 
know and we can extend them.

So far, it hasn't appeared to. We've let some run much longer in the 
past, and the bids we got were from people that told us they would bid 
very early on. Again, if you know of someone who's looking but is 
bothered by the short turnarounds, let us know.
