Cooperative Bidding

This service enables districts an opportunity to collaborate on the development of RFP’s and bid specifications for various commodities and services.  In addition to securing the advantage of large volume purchasing through aggregate bidding, districts save money on the costs associated with developing specification documents and the associated advertising requirements. Services will include preparation of Requests for Proposals (RFP’s), bid proposals, development of standard specifications for common items, the gathering of quantity estimates, preparation of legal notices, and awarding of bids. The process is coordinated with a user group.
