027-3 Wyo. Code R. §§ 3-12 - Advertising for competitive sealed bids

(a) To initiate competitive sealed bidding for a project, a procuring agency that has not required bidder prequalification (as allowed under Sections 9 and 10 of this chapter) shall advertise a notice to submit bids for the project. The advertisement for bids shall be published on the state procurement website for not less than two (2) consecutive weeks. If the procuring agency opts to utilize an online bidding site to publish project estimates and plans, it shall provide to the Department a link to the bidding site that the Department shall include on the state procurement website. An advertisement for bids shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:

(i) The name of the procuring agency;

(ii) A designated procurement point of contact with contact information;

(iii) A description of the scope of the desired work;

(iv) The location of the desired work;

(v) An estimated project completion date;

(vi) Procedures to submit bids;

(vii) A request for multiple or alternate bids or life cycle analysis of materials, if such will be used;

(viii) Methods to access plans and bid documents;

(ix) Information regarding prebid meetings, if any, held at the discretion of the procuring agency;

(x) Required bid security and bonding limits;

(xi) Deadline to submit bids and bid opening information; and

(xii) Sample contract and bidder affidavits.

(b) Because the Department does not maintain a bid advertising notification list, potential bidders are responsible for checking the advertising methods listed in this section.

(c) If the procuring agency already advertised a call for prequalification applications for the project under Section 9 of this chapter, the procuring agency is not required to publicly advertise the advertisement for bids under this section. Instead, the procuring agency shall provide the advertisement for bids to the prequalified bidders.
