Current Project Bid Opportunities

Bid Opportunities & Bid Packets  Click here to read bid packets and access forms that need to be completed in order to bid on City of Midland projects. Drawings, bid due dates, and bid specifications can also be located via the above web page.

  • Addendums: Occasionally, there may be an addendum to an original bid packet that could affect a vendor's bid submittal. If you have correctly filled out online bid forms or submitted hard copy forms to bid on a City project, Purchasing will use your contact information to mail, fax, or e-mail you any addendums that may arise before the bid submittal deadline.


  • Pre-Bid Meetings: Occasionally, there are opportunities for bidders to see the site of a project and to ask questions about the project.  If a pre-bid meeting has been scheduled for a project, that information will be included in the bid specifications document for that project. The meeting date will also appear in the “PRE-BID MTG” column on the bid information web page.
