  • Title: The e-Builder customer account name, project name, and bid package name are listed at the top of the page
  • Status: Displays whether the package is Open or Closed, whether you have accepted or declined the bid, and whether you have submitted a response yet.
  • Timeframe: Displays how much time is left before the bid due date / time, and the bidding time zone.
  • Summary: Displays the current financial total of your bid response.

The Package Invitation tab contains the following descriptive information published by the bid manager:

  • Bid Info: The information on this tab varies depending on what the bid manager decided to fill out. Bid package description, contact person, pre-bid meeting details and bid instruction documentation are some of the items that may be included.
  • Invitation Documents: Drawings, specifications and other documentation for the bid are published here. The file/folder name, the version and the date/time it was uploaded are also displayed on this tab.

    To download a file or folder, click Download Icon beside the file name. To download all the files and sub-folders in a folder, click Download Icon beside the folder name. A folder containing multiple sub-folders or files will be automatically downloaded as a .zip file. A confirmation message will be displayed if the download is successful.

  • Addenda: If addenda are published for the bid package, the documentation will be listed here. Prior to submitting your response, you will be required to acknowledge your receipt of every addendum with a check mark on the Additional Information tab.
