Adding a Bid Letting

Transportation agencies publicly open and read the bids received for proposals at a bid letting. The time and place of the bid letting is published in the Notice to Contractors. Bid lettings are usually held at regular intervals and bidders, their authorized agents, and other interested parties are invited to be present.

Before the bid letting takes place, a bid letting row must be created in the system to manage all the information related to that bid letting. Some of the information in a bid letting row includes: proposals that will be let, vendors that have purchased proposal plans, proposals that are postponed or removed from the letting, bids that have been submitted for proposals in the letting, and vendors who have submitted quotes to bidders in the letting.

To create a new bid letting, click the Lettings link in the Preconstruction component, and then select Add from the Actions menu on the Bid Letting Overview component header.

The system takes you to the Add Bid Letting component. Enter information in these fields as needed:

• Letting ID

• Letting Date

• Let Time

• Let Stat

Click Save to add the new bid letting. The system takes you to the Bid Letting Summary and displays a message to confirm that the new information was saved. See Changing a Bid Letting for more information.
