Bid items can also be exported/downloaded from the project owner’s OneOffice project dashboard (this is where plans are downloaded).
You must first be a plan holder in order to bid on a project. You will need to login with a ConneX account in order to download plans and be added to the plan holder list. To become a plan holder, follow these steps:
Login to Connex.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on 'View Full Advertisement.
In the upper right, download plans within the ‘Plans Available for Download’ section.
Down at the bottom of the page, check if you’ve been added as a plan-holder.
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 Elliptic-curve (EC) 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 use bid credits to bid. Each bid is worth 1 credit and each credit costs $35 (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.
