This document is an informational exhibit provided by the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency for solicitation HHS0017509 regarding the Irrigation System Maintenance & Service contract at Austin State Hospital. The exhibit establishes guidelines for bidders submitting responses through the optional HHS Online Bid Room system. Bidders may submit their solicitation responses using either the online platform or any other method identified in the main solicitation package. All submissions must comply with the form, manner, and timeline requirements specified in the complete solicitation package, with failure to adhere to these requirements potentially resulting in disqualification. Responses must be submitted by the due date and time identified in the solicitation package.

Bidders should allow several days for the registration process to ensure timely submission before the response deadline. The document notes that the use of the online bid room is optional and that any technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission shall not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award.
