Reminds me of a recent project dealing with some CSC guys.
Us: "Tell us what it's going to cost to extend our client's IT contract for the next 5 years." CSC: "Well it depends on what you need." Us: "We're not the IT guys, you tell us what we need and what it will cost." CSC: "Well we can't tell you what you need. Thus, we can't tell what it will cost." Us: "Then what are we supposed to do? We don't know what we need." CSC: "If you want to pay us $100K, we will give you a cost estimate and details on what you need about 3 months from now." Us: "See ya, we're bidding it out."
