Oftentimes a bid challenge may just be an aggressive letter from an unsuccessful bidder\, but bigger problems can ensue if the challenger brings the dispute to a board meeting\, or worse\, files litigation that can lead to project delays. Join our presenters to discuss the legal requirements for bidding\, how public bodies can prepare bid packages to prevent bid challenges\, and what rights public bodies have when a bid challenge arises.  \n\n\n\nPresented by:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenneth M. Florey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHoward A. Metz \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.  \n\n\n\n\n\nCreative Contracting: Using Intergovernmental Agreements\, Cooperative Purchasing\, Public-Private Partnerships\, and Other Strategies to Meet Your Purchasing and Operational Needs  \n\n\n\nA practical discussion with Robbins Schwartz’s commercial transaction lawyers on innovative procurement and service-delivery tools. Topics include structuring intergovernmental agreements\, cooperative purchasing consortia\, public-private partnerships\, and alternative contracting strategies highlighting legal considerations\, risk allocation\, compliance\, and general best-practices to protect public interests.  \n\n\n\nPresented by:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew J. Gardner \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie N. DiPiero \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.  \n\n\n\n\n\nKey Considerations in Choosing Your Construction Team and Other Strategies for Public Project Owners \n\n\n\nWhen planning a construction project\, one of the most important decisions that an owner will make is how to structure the project and the construction professionals that it selects to perform the design and construction. Join our construction lawyers for a discussion on primary construction planning issues such as choosing the right construction delivery method and strategies for selecting the right construction team for your project.  \n\n\n\nPresented by:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew J. Gardner \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDanielle B. McNamara
