About this file
This is a Notice to Contractors issued by the Connecticut Department of Transportation on March 27, 2026, announcing enhanced bidding workflow changes for the Bid Express (Bidx.com) platform. The notice informs all contractors that projects advertised on or after April 8, 2026, with letting dates on or after May 6, 2026, will require bid submission using the new enhanced bidding format. Projects advertised prior to April 8, 2026, that have letting dates postponed beyond April 29, 2026, will also require use of the new format. The notice does not specify quantities, response dates, or site visit information, as it is procedural guidance rather than a specific project solicitation.
The enhanced bidding workflow introduces several operational changes designed to modernize the bidding process. Key features include elimination of required installed software, allowing bidders to submit proposals from any modern computer including Macs; browser-based bid forms accessible directly through Bidx.com; and an intuitive error-checking feature called "Check Bid" to assist contractors in identifying and correcting submission errors. Existing Digital ID holders must import their Infotech Digital IDs into their browser, and a security key will be automatically generated during the first proposal opening to serve as a backup to the Digital ID. Bidders are advised to review provided resources and prepare for this transition. Technical support is available through Bidx Support at (888) 352-2439 option #1 or customer.support@bidx.com, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern time, with questions regarding bidding and award procedures directed to Philip Melchionne at DOTContracts@ct.gov.
