Bradley Shops Confront 'Red Tape'

At least five undisclosed agencies are vying for the six-figure account of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn.
A short list is expected by the end of October or early November following interviews with the shops, said Andre Liebert, the airport’s director of marketing.
Agencies seeking consideration were required to attend a “pre-proposal” meeting on Aug. 10. The capabilities of those at the meeting are being evaluated by a review committee appointed by the Commissioner of Transportation.
The request for proposals asked participating agencies to submit to an audit and reveal an affirmative action plan, something that has turned off several smaller shops.
