This process basically requires uploading a file to a secure server. Bidders who choose this method must begin the process early enough so that the files are received, not just sent, no later than the Bid Date and Time. Keep in mind that large files may take longer to upload. Additionally, bidders who choose to scan / convert their bids into an electronic file should double check the electronic file prior to upload to ensure that papers did not "stick together" or "go missing" or other during your scanning process. Bidders will not be able to claim that a portion "did not scan" or "are missing" as an excuse for missing documents. Late bids due to "internet outages", "slow internet", etc will not be accepted. Emailed/Faxed bids will not be accepted. These methods of transmission have limitations that make it more difficult to guarantee that a bid package has not been opened before the set bid date and time. The Georgetown Housing Authority is authorizing this method as a onetime method, and this procedure may not be an option for future bids. Bid should be sent early enough so that it is actually received, not just sent, no later than the Bid Date and Time. No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for the receipt of bids for a period of Sixty (60) days. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities.
