The Bidding window manages all of the bidding information associated with a specific project, including item prices, certifications, addenda, bid submission, etc.
The Bidding Window includes a header at the top of the window, a tree structure of bidding information along the lower left side of the window and an area for entering and editing bid data on the lower right side of the window.
The Bidding window header includes the Select CSJ field, the CSJ Number, County, Highway, Description, DBE Goal, Project Number, District, Bid Date & Time, and Estimate.

If the top node (CSJ Number), is selected, then the Bid Submission Window is displayed. If the plus icon (+) next to the Items and Certifications nodes is clicked, that menu is expanded to show a menu of links for that node. When any of the links are clicked the right side of the window displays the Items, Addenda, Certifications or DBE window.
The project tree structure allows the user to access the Items, Addenda, Certifications and Subcontracts windows. In the tree structure a user may also:
The nodes in the tree structure change from red, bold and italic font to normal, black font when the information in the node is complete. This change occurs for Items, Addenda, Certifications and DBE's.
The main portion of the screen shows the Items, Addenda, Certifications, and DBE windows when a link in the tree structure is selected.
