SECRET STASH OF STUFF

B4B's RV CHECKLIST

MUST HAVES, SHOULD HAVES & NICE TO HAVES....

Packing your RV for the season, a weekend, or for a road trip?  Consider how much effort you want to put into setting up and packing up each time you arrive at your destination. Some campers enjoy a minimalist approach, while others aim for a home-like experience. Before investing in gear, take the time to define your ideal camping style. It's always better to be prepared vs. trying to locate/purchase necessities in unfamiliar locations.  Use B4B's checklist to decide what you need, or what you could do without. #nojudgement 

DOWNLOAD AND PRINT DOCUMENT

COMPLAINT? PRAISE? WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE IS BEST!

PUT IN AN EMAIL! COVER ALL BASES SO ALL ARE AWARE & SOMEONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

People like to pass the buck, especially if there's an unhappy camper involved.  By including multiple department contacts, there's no hiding an issue. Copy/paste at will. This contact information is readily available on the RI DEM public website as well.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT FOR CAMPGROUND, STORE, and rec hall

SOLICITATION BID AWARDED TO BA SERVICES

Ever wonder what responsibilities fall under the contract for current management or if RI DEM is liable for the task? How many times a day are bathrooms mandated to be cleaned? When must the camp store be open? When must the arcade be open?  When a solicitation is awarded, the winning bidder is already well aware of what the job entails and the details of everything involved. By accepting the contract, they must adhere to the rules set forth in the original solicitation...or so you would think.  There are penalties, but only if enforced by DEM.  Included below is all documentation relevant to the solicitation award in 2017. Scan down for complete packet info  Its a VERY interesting read.
