While being able to fill out the bid using the enclosed Excel Worksheet (Format B) is more convenient, it is not required to submit an electronic version of the Format B (i.e. CD-ROM or Floppy Disk) with your bid submission.
However, it is easier for the buyer to evaluate the bids when it is provided in electronic format.
REMEMBER that if you do submit a CD-ROM, Floppy Disk or Jump Drive, you MUST PRINT A COPY of the Format B Excel Worksheet and enclose it with the bid. The PRINTED copy of the Format B will be used as the bid for evaluation.
Should you need to make any last minute changes to your bid submission, you can make changes to the printed copy in ink and initial those changes in ink.
If there is a difference between the printed copy and the electronic copy, Special Conditions state that the PRINTED copy will be used for the bid evaluation. If necessary, the buyer will correct the electronic copy during the bid evaluation process so that it matches the printed copy provided at time of bid submission. |
