Thank you for reviewing my bid request and submitting your bids. I have had an overwhelming response and am currently reviewing your bids. I am being very careful in my selection because I intend to create a good working relationship with the winning bidder as I will be converting this data to a database and will also be doing this in another month for a 2010 version. I have updated the request to give more detail to the columns that the data should appear. I have also updated the scope with changes in the color red. Those bidders who have submitted files with my scanned data converted to excel format have proven that they understand my needs for this project and are capable of completing the project on time. Those bidders will have an advantage over others. Please review my request and re-submit your bid as you see necessary. Thank you.
