ADVISORY INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

PROMPTNESS OF BID SUBMITTAL

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that their bid is presented in a sealed envelope to the

Office of the Qualified Purchasing Agent before the advertised bid date and time. The

advertised bid date and time for this bid is on Friday, December 19, 2025 @ 10:00 a.m. No bids

shall be received after the time designated in the bid advertisement. No extensions or

exceptions will be made. The Business Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am –

4:30 pm, according to the school calendar, and 8:30 am – 4:30 pm during the summer. Access

to the Business Office may be delayed because of security clearance and/or the slowness of the

elevator to the fifth floor of the Administration Building. Bidders may also submit bids to the

Qualified Purchasing Agent at the bid opening meeting held in the Board of Education Meeting

Room prior to the advertised bid opening date and time. Once again, bids will not be received

after the time designated in the advertisement.

PARKING

Parking in the vicinity of the Board of Education Administration Building is at a premium. Allow

enough time to locate a parking space. Be prepared to park two or three blocks from the

Board Offices.

Heavy traffic hours by the Board Offices on school days are from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and

between 1:40 p.m. and 3:10 p.m. Be aware of parking signs as you may receive a parking ticket

or have your vehicle towed.

MAIL

Mail is brought to the Board Offices in mailbags at approximately 10:00 a.m. each day. It is then

sorted within the district system by departments. The Business Office routinely receives its mail

at approximately 11:30 a.m.

UPS / FED EX / AND OTHER EXPRESS DELIVERY SERVICES

Deliveries of this type usually begin at 10:00 a.m. These items are brought only to the

receptionist at the main building entrance. The receptionist then calls the various departments

with a request to pick up their items. There may be some delay in getting bids to the Business

Office on the top floor because of security clearance and/or the elevator's slowness to the

Administration Building's Third Floor.

HAND DELIVER BIDS – SUGGESTED PRACTICE

Considering the aforementioned items, the Board suggests that bidders arrange to hand-deliver

their bid to the Office of the School Business Administrator before the advertised date and

time. Please understand that bids arriving after the advertised bid date and time for any reason

cannot be accepted, opened, or considered.
