The request for bid is absolutely legitimate. It links right to the government bid website. I just read this this storm damage is two to three times the extent of Irene. Holy ****. Look at the number of people without power:
Having worked for that agency of DOD (environmental affairs was part of the DRMS and Logistics) I can tell you that ordnarily nothing moves to or from unless the paperwork is there. As far as services go they normally have to go through a bidding process. This is true (as far as I know government wide). No bid no bread.
However, I would imagine that Obama can by his power as the head of the executive branch cut some corners and I expect he has done so.
