2. One small envelope for the Bid Depository Authority Branch (determined by the boundary zone map) containing a copy of the bids made to each Contractor. If your bids are all the same, you may enclose only one copy of your bid.

• Fill in the Project Name, your Company Name, the Project Contact Person and their Phone Number (for inquires)

• Check Sub to General or Sub to Mechanical (whichever applies);

• Under SBDI Trade Scopes list the trade scopes you are bidding (NOT THE SPEC SECTIONS);

​​

2. Complete the declaration form accompanying the large white envelope and place inside the small white declaration form envelope attached to the front of the large white envelope. If security is required, staple it to the back of the declaration form. Check Declaration Form & Security once you have them enclosed.

​

3. If dropping off at a location other than the Bid Depository Authority branch, affix another small envelope addressed to the Bid Depository containing all of your bids to protect yourself in the event the bids are lost in transit to the Authority Branch.

 

Notes
