within the area. This system allows the City of Visalia to post all information needed by vendors regarding bids,

quotes (informal), request for proposals, construction notices, addenda and awards. By establishing one

centralized bidding and registration system, vendors will now have a single point of contact for business

opportunities throughout our region. The system will save the City of Visalia (and our vendors) time and money

by reducing printing, postage and mailing costs. All vendors who wish to do business with the City of Visalia are

asked to register on this new system. Vendors may register online by visiting

www.bidnetdirect.com/california/cityofvisalia.

Registration options are the following:

Option #1 is paid registration. This option emails notification of all bids and addendums from all participating

agencies. This option also allows the vendor to view award information and any other information that is posted.

One and two-year pricing options are available.

information, and any other information that is listed.

If you are already registered on this system, you do NOT have to register again.
