About this file
This document is a procedural guide for submitting bids through PennBid, Pennsylvania's electronic bidding platform, and relates to the 1121 Horsham Road Demolition project (26-01054) in Pennsylvania. The guide outlines the complete bid submission process for prospective contractors, beginning with logging into a PennBid account and accessing the desired solicitation through the RESPONSE tab. Bidders must complete three primary sections—Questions, Pricing, and Bid Bond (if required)—with all sections marked as "Complete" before successful submission is possible. The Questions tab requires bidders to acknowledge terms and upload all pertinent project documents, while the Pricing tab requires entry of unit prices for all line items, lump sum amounts, allowances, base bid items, and alternates; PennBid automatically calculates extended prices by multiplying unit prices by specified quantities. If applicable, the Bid Bond tab allows upload of required bond documentation.
The submission process requires careful review of all entries across all tabs prior to clicking the orange Submit Bid button, after which bidders must accept terms and conditions to finalize their submission. Upon successful submission, bidders receive a confirmation email with a unique bid confirmation number and submission details including contact information, date, and time. Bidders retain the ability to edit their bid at any time before the project due date by selecting the "Withdraw and Edit Bid" option, though resubmission with a new confirmation number is mandatory after any modifications. Alternatively, bidders may completely withdraw their bid using the "Withdraw and Delete Bid" option prior to the project deadline. Technical support is available through Info@PennBid.net or by phone at (610) 693-4769.

HOW TO SUBMIT A BID
Bid Submission – The process of completing all required fields, uploading all mandatory documents, and submitting the proposed bid prior to the project due date & time.
Getting Started
Once you log in to your PennBid account, open the desired solicitation. On the top toolbar, click the RESPONSE tab. The

Questions
The QUESTIONS tab contains bidder acknowledgements and spots to upload documents. Be sure to read the acknowledgements thoroughly and respond appropriately. Upload the documents pertinent to the project by either attaching each file separately (you cannot have more files than upload spots available) or combining documents and uploading as one file (can be a zip file). If the upload spot has a specified document name, be sure to upload only that document in the designated space.
Once you finish addressing the acknowledgements and uploading documents, be sure to click “Save” on the top blue bar.
Your answers will remain recorded, and the “Question Response” status will switch from Incomplete to Complete –
REMEMBER TO SUBMIT.

Pricing
The PRICING tab contains all the line items, including but not limited to lump sum, unit prices, allowances, base bid items and alternates for the project. Each line will start out pink, but the highlighted section will turn white after that unit price has been populated.
IMPORTANT: Please remember to only include the UNIT PRICE, not the extended price. PennBid will do the math automatically and multiply your unit price by the quantity specified on the bid form.
Once you finish adding all your unit prices, be sure to click “Save” on the top blue bar. Your answers will remain recorded, and the “Question Response” status will switch from Incomplete to Complete – REMEMBER TO SUBMIT.

Reviewing & Submitting
All required information is now satisfied. Each section should be marked as Complete – REMEMBER TO SUBMIT. The left yellow box with the explanation point triangle has turned into a green box with a checkmark circle. The right box is still yellow and says, “Your bid has not been submitted.”
Prior to submission, we highly recommend you review the QUESTIONS, PRICING and BID BOND tabs for accuracy. Once satisfied, click the orange Submit Bid button. A pop up with terms and condition will appear on the screen. Read through the text and then either select “I Do Not Accept” or “I Accept and Submit this Bid.”
If you accept and submit, you will receive an email with a bid confirmation number.
