The full text of Bids and Requests for Letters of Interest (RLI) is available here in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF file format. Text of Bids and RLI's may be viewed online and/or printed with the Acrobat Reader software.

Responding to a Bid

Bids listed herein contain the County's Invitation for Bids form at the beginning of each bid document. RLI's and County Attorney forms do not contain this document. If you respond to a bid, the first page of the Invitation for Bids form is an integral part of your bid response. It must contain an original signature, in ink (per Item 1 of the form), and must be returned along with your completed Price Sheet. Responses to an Invitation for Bid or a Request for Letter of Interest may not be faxed or sent to us electronically.

If you did not receive an electronic notification of a solicitation listed on this site, but you are interested in submitting a bid, contact the Purchasing Contracts Section at (954) 357-6069 to add your name to the bidders list for that solicitation. Only vendors on the bidders list for a particular solicitation will receive e-mail notification of addenda to that solicitation (see Addenda section below).

Bids must be returned in a sealed envelope with the Bid number, Bid title, and Bid Opening date marked in the lower left hand corner of the envelope. Mail responses to: Broward County Purchasing Division, 115 S. Andrews Ave Rm 212, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Bids received after the bid opening deadline will be rejected. Bids may also be picked up at the Broward County Purchasing Division, Governmental Center, 115 S. Andrews Avenue Room 215, Fort Lauderdale (unless directed otherwise).

Addenda to Notices for Bid

Bids may have had Addenda issued to them. An Addendum in some way modifies information from the original bid, i.e., to announce changes in the bid opening date, specifications, terms, conditions, or modifications to the Bid Sheet. In addition, many addenda are mandatory (MUST be signed and returned prior to the bid opening). Anyone bidding or contemplating bidding should contact Purchasing Division to receive e-mail notification of Addenda for that bid.

The information contained herein is provided as a public notice. It may not, however, represent a completely accurate listing of all outstanding solicitations. Also, changes in date and/or time for a bid to be opened or for cancellations of solicitations may not always be reflected. Any questions concerning these solicitations may be directed to our Contracts Section at (954) 357-6069.

Request for Letters of Interest are now only available from the Internet.
