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!
Important Notes:
Uploading large documents may take significant time, depending on the size of the file(s)
and your Internet connection speed.
You will receive an email confirmation receipt with a unique confirmation number once you
finalize your submission.
It is recommended that once you have completed your final submission and received a
notice status of "Submission Complete" from Bonfire, you access your account again and
review the documents to verify that the correct content has been provided. Once the close
date has past, you will not have an opportunity to change any of the submitted documents.
