Outside of these above hours, there may not be anyone available to receive your submission. Proposals MUST be in the possession of the Division of Purchasing by 10:30 AM on the due date in order to be considered. It is the Bidder's responsibility to ensure bids are received by the Division of Purchasing before the 10:30 AM deadline. The County will not make exceptions for delays due to carrier issues.

ADDITIONAL BID SUBMISSION GUIDANCE:

IN-PERSON SUBMISSION: Bidders will be required to undergo a security check-in. If you are dropping off your submission on the morning of the bid opening, please allow ample time to do so. 

MAIL-IN SUBMISSIONS (Bids submitted via common carrier service USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.):
Bidders are encouraged not to send any submissions to the County via FIRST OVERNIGHT service. This service requires that the carrier attempt delivery before 8:00 AM, which is outside normal business hours. The package is then set aside by the carrier, and the second attempt is often not made until after 10:30 AM. 

Bids submitted via USPS are processed through the County's mail room and then delivered to the Division of Purchasing. This process may take multiple days, and bidders should allow ample time for the County mail room processing.
