Manage Construction Codes

Close Bid Packages
By default, the Manage Codes button displays after a bid package is created. Optionally, construction codes can be assigned to potential bidders, allowing you to group bidders by construction codes. This makes it easier to find and identify bidders if their names or contact information is not readily available. If you do not manage construction codes by the time a potential bidder is invited to bid, this option will no longer be available and the Manage Codes button will disappear.
Construction Codes are entered by the e-Builder administrator.
To manage construction codes:
- Go to the Bid Package Details page.
- Click Manage Codes. The Manage Construction Codes page appears. Available construction codes display in the Construction Codes box on the left.
- Select the codes you wish to add to the project and then click Add. Selected codes display in the adjacent box.
- Click Save.
Close Bid Packages
The "Reconstruction Manager" or "Estimating Coordinator" has the ability to close the bid package once the bidding process is complete and the bid has been awarded. Once the project bid is closed, the status in the bid package details will change to closed. Once closed, the bid package can be reopened at a later date if necessary.
Closing the Bid Package revokes access to the bid package for all invited bidders except for the awarded bidder. When the bid package is closed bidders who have not been awarded will no longer see the bid package listed when they log into the bidder portal. Once the award has been granted, the awarded bidder can potentially be added as a licensed e-Builder user. (this implied that MIT has to decide how to treat awarded bidders and that alternatives exist ... need to review with the implementation team or committee to see how this will be handled and then refine the doc here.)
The Close Bid feature is available throughout the Bidding module on every tab of the Bid Package Details page.
To close a bid package:
- Go to the Bid Package Details page.
- Pick Close. You are prompted for confirmation.
- Click Yes, Close the Bidding.
