Call for Bids/Planholders Site Instructions

Getting Project Information:

The left side of the main page (Available Bid Projects) lists all currently available projects.  Clicking on the name of a project will display important details for that project on the right side of the page. Links to all necessary contracts, plans, specifications, and addendums are shown. Click on a document name to view and/or save that document.  It will also display the Bid Opening Date (due date for bids) and all of the current planholders for that selected project at the bottom.  Projects are only kept on the main project list until the bids are opened.

After a projects' bids are opened, it moves to the Previous Bid Projects page.  When the bids are tabulated and the project awarded, the tabulations and award information will be posted.  These older projects are available to view through the Previous Bid Projects link; we keep these projects available for least one year after posting for your reference.
 
NOTE: For projects that closed on or before June 4th, 2007, the planholders list is just a static PDF file listed along with the other documents.

Getting on a planholders list:

Prior to getting on a planholder list, you must register your business with our site:  Click the "Register" link to start. Enter your company contact information, a username, and a password, then click the Create button and it should confirm your new account. Once you have successfully registered, login at the top of the page using the username and password that you registered with.  Once logged in, you will be taken back to the Current Bid Project page & the login boxes will be replaced with a confirmation that you are now logged in. A small green "+" sign will appear next to all available projects. Clicking on that "+" sign will add you to the plan holders list for that project. To verify, click on the project name to re-display the details & the plan holder's list. When you are on a planholders list, the sign changes to a red "-"; this allows you to remove yourself from that project's the planholders list.

You only need to register once... any time you visit again, you can use the same username/password... to get on another planholders list just login & click the "+" sign next to the project name. If you're not sure if you have registered, you can go to the Registered Companies page to check for your name among all the registered users. If you see that your company is registered multiple times on our company list, please contact us at 360.740.1128 to remove the duplicate entries.

If you need to update your contact information, login & click on the "Edit Profile" link.  This will change it on all the planholders lists that you are on.  If you forget your password or username, click the "Forgot Password" link; as long as you still know your username, your password will be sent to the e-mail address that you saved in your profile.  If you cannot remember your username, enter your company name exactly as it is registered (check our list) & the username will be emailed to you.
 
If you are having difficulty using this site, please contact us at 360.740.1128 to resolve the issue. We should be able to help you get registered and added to any planholders lists.
 
Attention:  Your name must be included on the planholders list to receive any addendums that may be added to the contract.  Without the notice of acknowledgement of the addendums, (if any) on the proposal signature page, the proposal will have to be considered non-responsive.  Please see the specific project documents for the exact bid requirements.
