Subiect: <br /> <br />Purpose: <br /> <br />Policy: <br /> <br />Procedure: <br /> <br />Bid Opening Procedures <br /> <br />To set forth a uniform method of opening sealed bids. <br /> <br />It is the County's policy that all sealed bids (electronically received bids are <br />not acceptable) for supplies, materials, equipment and construction and <br />repair be opened by the Purchasing Agent, or their designee, at the exact <br />time and date specified in the legal notice and on the bid request. The <br />opening of a bid without the bidder's permission prior to the bid opening <br />date and time constitutes a misdemeanor. All bids will be opened publicly <br />and late bids will not be accepted and shall be returned to the sender <br />unopened. County policy requires that all bids be made on the forms <br />provided by the County unless instructed otherwise. All formal bids <br />should be opened in the meeting room of the Board of Commissioners; <br />with the clock on the wall of this room being the "official clock". <br /> <br />Bids shall be opened beginning with the exact time, on the date and <br />at the place specified in the advertisement for bids and bid request. <br /> <br />Formal bids must accompanied by a five percent (5%) bid deposit of <br />cash, cashier's check or bid bond (a bank check or bank treasurer's <br />check shall be considered equal to the cashier's check). Personal <br />checks, company checks, money orders, etc. will not be accepted. <br />This requirement may be waived for Purchase Contracts at the <br />discretion of Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />3. Bids without proper deposit or bond shall not be accepted. <br /> <br />If bids are for construction or repair work and the cost is estimated <br />to be $300,000 or more, three (3) bids must be received or the bids <br />are not to be opened, but re-advertised. Following re- <br />advertisement, bids may be opened regardless of the quantity <br />received. <br /> <br />All bids shall be opened publicly with bids tabulated and made <br />available to interested parties. <br /> <br />It shall be a practice not to award any bid until the Purchasing <br />Agent and/or interested Department Head have had ample time to <br />review each bid proposal, and the Board of Commissioners have <br />taken action as necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />
