Yes, those are excellent suggestions and wlll no doubt
come into play at
some point, in some fashion, but the best way I see to approach this is
as a standard service procurement contract, through DOAS. At this point,
actually getting the property is secondary to seeing that it remains
worth getting. USG has nothing say about that once the DOAS contractor
shows up to remove it. That's what I'm focusing on right now. Bidding on
it at auction will be the easy part.
Perhaps the `saviour' effort might succed better if couched in terms of
a bid to DOAS to remove, haul away, and preserve the machine in
operational form if such could be put together.
