Subject: Extension request — RFP for EAS at Devils Lake and Jamestown, Northfpakota ^-, ; j ; T o 

Denis, Brian, Kevin 

We note that the deadline for this RFP is coming due this week - though the current EAS contract runs through Sept. 30, 

2011. Can we ask you to extend the due date for proposals to Aug 1 ? This would allow two months to complete the RFP 

process -- and importantly we expect the Saab flying questions to be resolved by then. We hope you would agree this 

makes good sense and avoids unnecessary work. The alternative would be for us to submit a 1 month bid for Oct 1 

through Nov. 1. 

Suggested language based on the recent extension you kindly granted for Ft. Dodge, l\/lason City, Watertown: 

Delta has informed us that it is in ongoing negotiations with its Delta Connection partners, and that those negotiations will 

not be completed in time for it to respond by the current RFP deadline. Delta has requested that we extend the due date 

for proposals. In order to encourage additional bids for EAS service, and to provide interested applicants sufficient time to 

prepare their proposals, the Department has determined to extend the due date for proposals in this proceeding to August 

1,2011.
