BID NET REGISTRATION INFORMATION

The City of Visalia utilizes a regional bid notification system created exclusively for the Purchasing

Department within the area. This system allows the City of Visalia to post all information needed by vendors

regarding bids, quotes (informal), request for proposals, construction notices, addenda and awards.

By establishing one centralized bidding and registration system, vendors will now have a single point of

contact for business opportunities throughout our region. The system will save the City of Visalia (and our

vendors) time and money by reducing printing, postage and mailing costs. All vendors who wish to do

business with the City of Visalia are asked to register on this new system.

Vendors may register online by visiting www.bidnetdirect.com/california/cityofvisalia.

Registration options are the following:

Option #1 is paid registration. This option emails notification of all bids and addendums from all

participating agencies. This option also allows the vendor to view award information and any other

information that is posted. Monthly and yearly pricing options are available.

Option #2 is free registration. This allows the vendor to login and search (by agency) all bids, addenda,

award information, and any other information that is listed.

If you are already registered on this system, you do NOT have to register again.

The City of Visalia looks forward to providing you with more bid information, less paperwork and simplifying

the entire bid, proposal and quote processes for everyone involved. We appreciate your cooperation and

welcome your participation. Should you have any questions regarding this new system or registration,
