Request For Offers.

Means you aren't committing to do anything specific, but will entertain offers, and if one is good, will accept it. Generally the offers are general and outline big ideas, broad goals, etc.

As opposed to an RFP, Request for Proposals. This means you have a specific task or thing to do, and want specific proposals to do it. It's more formal and legal, in that you outline a way you will score/grade proposals, and if one meets the criteria and is the best proposal, the city is legally bound (in some ways) to accept the proposal.

Um, I live a few blocks north of Walter Reed. It is convenient for some of us--those who live in Shepherd Park/Colonial Village, Takoma, Brightwood, 16th Street Heights, etc.

++100 we love the Walter Reed location, right on easy bus lines of 14th and 16th. we are south of WR, so not even close to Silver Spring. There is no one location that is going to be an easy commute for everyone attending. not having to head to downtown is nice.

There is a list of about 7 or 8 buildings which DCPS has marked as surplus. DCI and others are free to inquire about those.

Where can we see find list?

This is the list as of 8/14. Don't know if there is an updated one.

Thanks for the list. It appears that DC is going to open an application middle school in the future.

From what I hear, the DCI administration is still committed to the WR location.
