[SML] bidding on a project

[Richard Niederberg]

I have signed a lot of DESIGN/BUILD contracts as a Producer since 1970. I
have found it to be both cost-effective and aesthetically satisfying.
Provider is required to maintain the set and take it all away at the end of
the run. If I need some piece again, I'll rent it, The same thing goes with
Costumes. Reasons include: Storage is expensive, I have NEVER had a
successful Workmen's Comp Claim filed against me, tax reasons, and
investors who want keepsakes. The Designer/Builder does a better job if
they know they'll be getting the item back for their stock.
