Online Bidding Gains Ground

While I haven't investigated much, online bidding appears to coming into more use. Bid Express - Online Bidding Exchange is one company who provides the infrastructure for this type of bidding.

As of September, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be using the online bidding capabilities of Bid Express. Contractors pay a monthly subscription fee for use of the system. For more information, visit WSDOT's information flyer on this transition. Another resource is WSDOT's webpage with Bid Express.

WSDOT will be conducting training for contractors on August 10, 11, and 12, 2009. Interested contractors should contact Kari Slusser at slussek@wsdot.wa.gov/ or by phone at (360) 705-7837 to register for the training.
