Brooklyn judge hears LICH supporters’ motion to throw out RFP scores
Update: Case continues next Tuesday
When a revised Request for Proposals (RFP) to sell Long Island College Hospital (LICH) was negotiated by SUNY and LICH advocates, it was hailed by Mayor de Blasio, city officials and the state.
Unlike two earlier attempts by SUNY to sell LICH, the revised RFP was specifically crafted to attract a full-service hospital operator to the Cobble Hill campus.
Now, with LICH all but closed and the first- and second-place bidders rejected by SUNY, community groups want a judge to disqualify several of the scores submitted by panel members ranking the bids.
