Questions Received with Applicant Answers ( Ask Questions? )

I just uploaded a bid for White City and Hope, KS schools for a ______ circuit on a 5 year term. This is the first time I've had to go through this site and upload. I typically provide a quote to my customer and they submit for erate. Can someone please look at the bid (I did one for each school) and see if its what you are looking for. If I need to do a different format please let me know. Thank you. Diana Mason TCT Council Grove, KS

Answer:
Diana - you can check your bids to make sure they are displaying correctly. Log into your profile and click on "my bids" - from there you can doublecheck that they are formatted/are displaying correctly. If the school has questions about your bid they will contact you after the bid deadline. There is no required format for Internet bids on this project.
