Mayor, company executive invite Obama to Belvidere

 

Eight months ago a local company Infrastructure Defense Technologies (IDT) was forced to file a protest with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) who made the original request for quote on the Protective Barriers central to this ongoing situation. Ultimately the contract award was rescinded and bidding was repeated.

Recently the contract for these protective barriers was awarded again to the foreign company that has provided over $1 billion worth of the current protective barrier product. …

When asked if there was a real chance that they would prevail in a second appeal process, Tom Carlton said, "I believe we have a 50 percent chance of winning this appeal and I will take this opportunity to invite President Obama to come to Belvidere and IDT to see the area and the product and talk to us about how important this contract is to this area."
