Vendors registered with the City, will be automatically notified via email of the City’s Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Bid (RFB). These bid opportunities were previously posted on the City’s Website. The PlanetBids system provides vendors with a more proactive approach and eliminates having to check the City’s Website for new bid opportunities and addenda.
