Beginning December 31, 2018, Caltrans could possibly have the first projects advertised with the new software. Bidders will need the BIDS software to view contract information for these projects. Beginning February 18, 2019, all bidders will need the BIDS software, Digital ID and request to bid with Caltrans approved before submitting bids.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is partnering with utility companies to help protect critical energy infrastructure information. To do this, Caltrans is administering a non-disclosure and user agreement (NDA). Access to the project plans will be allowed only to those who have a Caltrans Bidding Connect account and who agree to the terms of the NDA. Please see this NDA instruction.
A database will record the name, date, time, and project number(s) each time a Caltrans Bidding Connect account holder accesses project plans. Caltrans employees are exempted.
The implementation was on November 30, 2017.

Electronic bid files i.e. bid books and addenda, are distributed only through the Bidx.com website. These electronic bid files are no longer available on the Caltrans website.
The implementation was on October 16, 2017.

Please allow at least 7 days to complete the electronic bidding registration process for the first time. More information regarding electronic bidding can be found on the Caltrans Electronic Bidding website.
