If a project owner bid key cannot be located, the bid key will need to be recreated.  This also requires bidders to upload their private keys to complete the decryption process.

To do so:

1. Log into bidVAULT
2. Go to 'User' tab>>My Bids
3. Find the project in the list of completed bids and click on 'Rekey' – the application will automatically find the encryption key saved to your browser.  If it does not, you will need to select the key file and upload to complete the rekey process.  Once all contractors have rekeyed (or uploaded their bid key), the project owner can then proceed with bid opening using their new public key.
