AASHTOWare Project Bids Bid
The Bid component of the AASHTOWare Project Bids™ software allows bidders to complete and submit bids securely over the Internet. It also allows them to manage their Info Tech Digital IDs.
When you open the component, you will see the Bids start-up screen. You may briefly see a message about updates. The Bid component automatically checks for updates and will upload them if any are available.
The Recent heading contains an informational message if you haven’t yet opened any proposal files. Once you do, those files will appear instead of the message.
The right side of the screen displays information about the last selected .ebsx file and its item complete.
Use the options on the left side to navigate around the software.

Proposals and Lettings
Agencies distribute files containing letting and proposal information. Download these files to a file folder location on your computer. From there, you can open them in the Bid software, where you can prepare your bid.
Do not rename the proposal files. The original file and any future amendments must be downloaded and saved under the file name assigned by the agency in order to successfully load amendments.
When you first open an .ebsx file, select the proposal that you want to bid on from the list that displays and click select. The Bid software opens the proposal details. To open a proposal when the Bid software is already open, select Open Proposal or Open Letting from the File menu.
You may see a warning that you need to select a default user profile or the user profile in the bid file does not exist in your list of user profiles. You do not have to import the user profile, but you must designate a default user profile before you submit a bid.
When you check or submit your bid and it contains errors, the Bid component displays an error window listing the location and cause of the error. The Bid component does not always stop you from submitting a bid with errors, but the agency may reject bids that contain errors.
