of such month.
The County reserves the right to utilize "anti-sniping" for reverse auctions. Anti-sniping is
a tool that automatically extends the bid time for reverse auctions by five (5) minutes if a vendor
places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse suction. The anti-sniping effect will
automatically extend the reverse auction bid time any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes
of the reverse auction and can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the
reverse auction ends.
SO RESOLVED, on this the 23rd day of September, 2026.
