Juneau Affordability” & the MIZ Wi-Fi RFP Controversy
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
First Things First launches Season 2 with a deep dive into Juneau affordability and a high-stakes city procurement: the Maritime Industrial Zone (MIZ) public Wi-Fi project. Guests Chris Rushman and Mark Luchini (Snow Cloud Services) detail why they protested the winning bid—citing unanswered RFP questions, non-responsiveness, and a far higher five-year cost (≈$4M vs. ≈$1.6M). A citizen Bidding Review Board agreed with the protest, but the Assembly took no action; the panel underscores transparency, fiscal discipline, and community involvement as keys to keeping Juneau affordable.
