Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this RFR is to procure technology and professional services for use by DHCD, its constituent LHAs, and the RCATs to manage bid document distribution and bidding services. DHCD believes that web-based bid document distribution (hereinafter referred to as “e-hosting”) and web-based bidding (hereinafter referred to as “e-bidding”) provides many tangible benefits to itself and its constituent LHAs and RCATs such as: A) ease the burden imposed by having to conventionally conduct live bid openings for 250 construction projects per year; B) provide bidders the opportunity to bid on multiple projects on the same day thereby increasing competition; and C) lower the rate of bid protests and bid rejections due to incomplete bid submissions.
