The ability to select a contract is available in the Bidding Window. Before a user may review, modify or add information to a contract, the user must select the desired contract.
The user must be authorized to bid on at least one contract. Authorization to bid is granted through IDOT’s Prequalification Section.
To select a contract
Click in the "Select Contract" field.
(optional) Type the initial characters of the contract in the menu. (The list of contracts in the drop-down will be filtered based on the characters entered).
Click on the desired contract in the drop-down menu. (The scroll bar on the right can be used to show additional contracts).
The "Intelligent Search" technology used in the "Select Contract" field searches the following fields for the entered string:
Contract Number
Description
Location
If more than 300 entries match the entered string, no contracts will display in the drop-down. The user must increase the length of the string or be more specific.
