How does Forsyth County open bids and/or proposals?
Bids are opened publicly at the time and place stated in the bid and prices are read aloud. Proposals are handled differently, in that a selection committee evaluates them. The names of the companies that submitted proposals will be posted on the web site but no cost information is given. Once a final selection is made and subject to Board of Commissioner approval, the name of the company that receives the award will be posted on the web site. Proposals are not open for review until a contract is signed.
