All bids/proposals must be SUCCESSFULLY submitted before the due date and
time regardless of your organization's ability to submit bids online. It is the supplier's
sole responsibility to ensure that bid/proposal documents successfully arrive
before the due date and time. The District's online bidding application utilizes the
Internet and the World Wide Web, which is comprised of systems that are completely
out of the District's control. It is highly recommended that the suppliers allow
themselves enough time to complete a successful submission. Do not wait until the
last minute!
