Adding a Reference Season

Season records are reference data that indicate the start and end dates for each season. Your agency can create as many seasons as needed, as long as the dates do not overlap. Seasons can be used to characterize and filter historical bid data according to the season of the year when bids were received. Seasons are used when retrieving bid-based regression pricing using a bid history profile.
