I wonder how much of the RFP is going to actually going to be related to the building, though. Generally speaking, where it comes to RFPs that seek an operator for a government facility, the RFP really only speaks to the demand of the operator - it doesn't often include how much input the proponent will have. That goes especially so when they're already planning something. I liken this more to the restaurant on the Provencher bridge. If there were a true check and balance, the operator would be making the calls as to the build type, operational setup, and so forth. By the looks of it - and it's still rather preliminary - the Forks plans to construct something they're satisfied with at an aesthetic level and force the brewer to operate within those confines. That's probably a bit of a fraught relationship right off the hop (Ha!) given the manufacture of anything generally requires the most simplified, efficient layout possible. It doesn't often set up well to have needless levels.
Anyway, perhaps the RFP does give some design input, but then let the winning brewer choose their best chance for success. Don't force them to work with a firm that doesn't do factory engineering.
