Submission is electronic only through Procureware at https://tra.procureware.com. No pre-bid conference is scheduled; all questions must be submitted through the website. The Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will evaluate on price, delivery, efficiency, quality, experience, and service record rather than lowest bid alone.
