Electronic Bidding Instructions
The New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) uses the BidX web-based service for electronic bidding. BidX is accessible to all users and requires no special software to purchase or install.
The Authority’s adoption of electronic bidding does not require any Contractor to bid electronically. Participation is voluntary. If submitting a bid using Infotech’s BidX internet bidding service, no paper is required. Paper bids will still be accepted by the Authority, if they are received before 10:30 am on the letting day.
When an amendment is issued, the changes can be applied directly in BidX.com. Contractors no longer need to download or upload legacy bid or amendment files. The new browser-based system handles amendment updates directly in the cloud. If a Contractor submits a bid before an amendment is issued, the bid must be resubmitted to ensure the bid reflects the changes in the amendment.
Review the proposal and any and all changes by amendment before bidding. Proposal notes and circumstances include, but are not limited to, information on alternate, fixed and/or limited cost items and/or special circumstances regarding item placement and use. Contractors are solely responsible for recognizing and properly responding to all special notes and circumstances in the Contract Proposal and all changes by amendment, from either the amendment documents and/or notices communicated to them by NYSTA’s Office of Capital Program and Contracts Management.
Bidders are also instructed to register as a plan holder on the Authority's website for each project to receive important updates, including amendments. For more information, see Contract Documents .
Please be certain to review the rest of this page and its links before attempting to use BidX and/or data obtained from the Contract Documents section. Failure to thoroughly review and comply with the requirements of the Authority’s bidding program may result in serious errors or omissions in your bid.

NYSTA Electronic Bidding Full Policy Statement
1. SUMMARY:
The New York State Thruway Authority (the Authority) uses the BidX service for electronic bidding.
BidX is a web-based bidding service accessible to all users and requires no special software to purchase or install. Users can view contract documents free of charge and may opt to pay a subscription-based fee dependent upon their choice of BidX offered tiered tools and services, and only when they choose to submit an electronic bid. Electronic bidding is covered under a subscription-based service fee. The BidX service reduces the time it takes to prepare a bid and alerts bidders to deadlines, omissions, and errors which minimizes the chances of submitting an incomplete or inaccurate bid.
BidX allows bidders to submit, update, or withdraw bids electronically as many times as needed until the official bid deadline (10:30 AM). Bids are then locked and encrypted, so only the Authority can see the last submitted version. While bidders can submit a bid up to the last minute, it is highly recommended to submit prior to the 10:30 A.M. deadline on the letting day to avoid encountering any technical issues. Bidders bear sole responsibility for ensuring the timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of their bid submissions.
For additional information please refer to FAQ: Using the browser-based experience .
2. PARTICIPATION AND RELATIONSHIP TO PAPER DOCUMENTS:
Electronic bidding allows for the streamlining of procurement by reduced processing times, eliminating errors and reducing administrative costs. Please note that the Authority’s adoption of electronic bidding does not force any Contractor to bid electronically. Rather, participation is voluntary. If submitting a bid using the BidX web-based bidding service, no paper is required. The bidder shall submit and digitally sign the electronic bid.
Due to the AASHTOWare Project Bids software no longer being supported, electronic bid on a CD, DVD or USB device will NO longer be allowed. Traditional paper bid submissions will continue to be accepted as documented in the Contract (Project) Proposal.
Prospective bidders are to submit either an electronic bid or a paper bid, but NOT both.
If a bidder submits both an electronic bid via BidX and a paper bid, the BidX bid will be accepted as the formal bid, and the paper bid will be considered informal and neither accepted nor evaluated.
3. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE:
The Authority endorses no particular product but expects all vendors and individuals to voluntarily keep pace with changes in Authority requirements and specifications.
4. PROPOSAL NOTES AND CHANGES BY AMENDMENT:
Bid proposals submitted via BidX shall be prepared using the electronic file(s) prepared by the Authority for that individual contract, including all updates issued via amendment.
Contractors are solely responsible for recognizing and properly responding to all special notes and circumstances as printed in the Contract Proposal and all changes by amendment, from either the amendment documents and/or notices communicated to them by the Authority’s Capital and Contracts Management Unit.
Amendments are posted online at: Contract Documents . Whenever an amendment is issued, the changes are automatically applied in BidX (bidx.com). Contractors no longer need to download separate files and manually apply the amendment to their bid submission. Do not bid without carefully reviewing the printed proposal and any and all changes by amendment. Proposal notes and circumstances include, but are not limited to, printed information on alternate, fixed and/or limited cost items and/or special circumstances regarding item placement and use.
