Bid summary

Once a proposal's deadline has passed and the bids have been opened, you can see the bid summary for the proposal. The summary shows the bid amount for each bidder.  The bid summary is posted at the discretion of the agency, so it may not be available in every state.

  • If you're looking for the bid summary for the letting, select Bid Summary from the letting header.
  • If you're looking for the bid summary for the proposal, select the proposal from the letting page and select Bid Summary from the section on the side.

The Bid Express® service opens the Bid Summary page.

Click on the Bidder Name to see the bidder information. You can export the bid summary into either a CSV file or a tab-separated value file by selecting the desired export option.  

Bid tabulations

Once a proposal's deadline has passed and the bids have been opened, you can see the bid tabulations for the proposal. The tabulations show what each contractor bid for each item and the overall bid total. Bid tabulations are posted at the discretion of the agency, so they may not be available in every state.

Select Bid Tabulations from the side section of the proposal.  If there are no bids for the proposal, you won't see this option.

The page is divided into two sections.  The Bidders section shows the contractors and their bid totals. You can click on a bidder's name to see its bidder information. The Bidder Data shows the bid information for each item.  

  • If you clear the check box for a contractor in the Bidders section, that contractor's bid is removed from the items section.  
  • Click None in the bidders section to remove all contractors except for the low bidder from the bid tabulations.
  • If you subscribed to the Bid Tab Analysis service, you will also see each contractors' deviation from the low bidder. Red means the unit price was above the low bidder’s unit price. Green means the unit price was less than the low bidder’s unit price.

You can export the bid tabulations into either a CSV file or a tab-separated value file by selecting the desired export option.
