bidVAULT FAQ

 

You will use your ConneX account. If you do not have an account, you will need to first create an account on ConneX by either creating a new organization and account or by joining your organizations account.

Bids are secured through encryption and security features at various stages and levels:

  • AWS FedRAMP compliant data center

  • Data encryption at rest

  • Data encryption in transit

  • Bid data encryption through RSA cryptography (bid key). This level of encryption ensures that, even for those agencies (like AWS or RTVision) who may have access to the server or database, bid data can only be read by the agency or user(s) with the bid key until bids can be opened.

You must first be a plan holder in order to bid on a project. To become a plan holder, you can click on the project in bidVAULT to download plans. This will redirect you to the project owner’s project dashboard where the plans are located.

You will need to login with a ConneX account in order to download plans and be added to the plan holder list.

 

You no longer need a PIN ID to sign and approve documents.

You use bid credits to bid. Each bid is worth 1 credit and each credit costs $25 (or less if you purchase a number of bid credits at once). The project owner determines if they will pay on behalf of the bidders (in which case the cost to bid is '0' bid credits), or if the bidder will pay for the bid credit.
