Does it cost to post a project?

Posting a project is free. The exchanges share bidding opportunities with their members and do not pay to obtain bid documents.

What happens after I upload?

Uploading does not publish your documents immediately.

1. Your documents are sent to the participating plans exchanges.
2. Exchange staff prepare the documents for posting.
3. Members access them through the exchanges' online planrooms.

Which file formats should I use?

Send documents as PDF, DWF, or TIFF. For PDFs, use unlocked files, with one file for plans and one for specifications when possible.

For more than 10 files, ZIP them before uploading. See how to ZIP your files.

How do I send addenda or project updates?

Email addenda, memos, or other updates to montanabid@gmail.com, or use the upload tool. Exchange staff add the updates to your project and send notices to bidders.

Why use unlocked PDFs?

Please provide unlocked PDFs so exchange staff can organize and label your project documents for the online planroom. This helps members find, review, and use the files they need to prepare bids.

Who can view project documents?

Project documents are available to members through participating exchanges' password-protected online planrooms. Contact your local plans exchange for membership information.
