Why Can’t I Click “Select” and “Accept” in the Solicitation? You need to select “Add New Response” and create a Quote (which you can rename) in order to “Select” and “Accept” the boxes next to the documents. If you do not see the “Attach Documents” tab, not all Solicitation Documents have been opened and accepted on the “Overview” tab. Does My Firm Need To Be Prequalified To Bid? All projects greater than $1,000,000 require a bidder to be currently prequalified. To find the specific prequalification requirements for a project, see page 1 of the Invitation to Bid under “Bidding Limited To”.

If there are no addendums, then the Pre-Bid Meeting has not yet taken place. How Do I Find The Bid Tab (and Bids) After The Bid Has Closed?
