It is where the County will post solicitation opportunities, including Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Information/Interest (RFI). The County’s Procurement Portal will streamline the County’s Bid process for Bid or Proposal submission, acceptance, evaluation, and award. For vendors, the County’s Procurement Portal will enhance communication, allow for fast and accurate Bids and Proposals, and provide automatic notification about projects.

It is every Offeror’s responsibility to read, understand, and submit Bids and Proposals in accordance with the instructions provided in and specific to each solicitation document.
