Bidding Procedures
Specific bidding procedures are established by the North Carolina
General Statutes and municipal governments are required to follow
them. ElectriCities will adhere to the laws and provide for the uniform
treatment of all vendors. It is important that each vendor be familiar
with these requirements and follow them. Please feel free to contact
our staff if you have any questions about bidding procedures.
Decision to Bid
Pursuant to 160-460 et seq. of the General Statutes of North Carolina,
the participating municipalities who wish to join together to bid
as a group advise ElectriCities of their desire and enlist them
to solicit and receive bids on their behalf. Once authorized by
the municipals to act on their behalf, ElectriCities gathers all
necessary information to prepare the necessary bid packages, legal
advertisements, bid tabulation sheets, Acceptance Notice forms,
and contract documents.
Bids are available for
inspection in the offices of Member Services once a contract has
been awarded. A request to see the bids should be made to the Manager
Member Services 24 hours prior to your visit to ensure someone is
available to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.
