A NOTE FROM QuestCDN REGARDING CORONAVIRUS

Dear Quest Alliance Partners,

I certainly don’t have to tell you that this Covid-19 (Corona) virus has sadly turned our world upside down and I know that we’re all struggling to figure out all the ways we need to respond to this tragic pandemic. First and foremost, our hearts go out to anyone who has been impacted by the virus. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are sick and we wish them a speedy recovery.

We do know that our world has to continue living and working under the constraints of caution and safety protocols. One area that we can make a helpful difference for you in our partnership is to suggest the immediate implementation of our VirtuBid™ (or vBid™) electronic online bidding functionality which will allow the secure data exchange in the bid letting process to be accomplished without bringing a significant amount of people in physical contact with one another.

Many of you have already adopted online bidding as a standard procedure. A number of you have also used vBid™ on several projects so there is a knowledge base and competency in place that will help many of you ramp up this implementation process rapidly. For those partners that have not yet been introduced or trained on this functional platform I can tell you that it only takes about an hour to provide the training you will require to effectively implement this for your projects that are currently in the bidding process. If you have a web conferencing facility you can conduct a completely virtual bid letting online where all your bid participants may view and witness the proceedings online or at least by phone. Our support staff and others in Quest are standing by to provide whatever assistance you need if you determine that you want to proceed with the immediate utilization of our vBid functionality. Please call us at 952.233.1632 or email us at info@questcdn.com to begin this dialogue of assistance.

We recognize from the increase in inquiries from our partners that this tragedy is adding a sense of urgency to adopt this new bidding paradigm. We are taking this responsibility very seriously and you have our commitment to work with you to support the use of our VirtuBid™ online bidding facility with your staff and your bidder community to keep us all working safely until this viral attack can be contained and defeated. We pray that this will happen very soon.

Sincerely,

Bob Morgan
Chairman & Founder
