§ 18a:64-65.
a. All advertisements for bids shall be published in a legal newspaper sufficiently
in advance of the date fixed for receiving the bids to promote competitive bidding
but in no event less than 10 days prior to that date for any construction projects
or any other contract or purchase. In addition to being published in a legal newspaper, advertisements may also be posted
using electronic data or media services, including the internet. The advertisement shall designate the manner of submitting and of receiving the
bids and the time and place at which the bids will be received. If the published specifications provide for receipt of bids by mail, those bids
which are mailed to the State college shall be sealed and shall be opened only at
such time and place as all bids received are unsealed and announced. At that time and place, the contracting agent of the State college shall publicly
receive the bids and thereupon immediately proceed to unseal them and publicly announce
the contents, which announcement shall be made in the presence of any parties bidding
or their agents who are then and there present. A proper record of the prices and terms shall be made. No bids shall be received after the time designated in the advertisement. b. Notice of revisions or addenda to advertisements or bid documents relating to bids
shall be published in a legal newspaper or newspapers no later than seven days, Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays excepted, prior to the bid due date. The notice shall be provided to any person who has submitted a bid or who has received
a bid package, in one of the following ways: (a) in writing by certified mail or
(b) by certified facsimile transmission, meaning that the sender's facsimile machine
produces a receipt showing date and time of transmission and that the transmission
was successful or (c) by a delivery service that provides certification of delivery
to the sender. Failure to advertise or provide proper notification of revisions or addenda to advertisements
or bid documents related to bids as prescribed by this section shall prevent the acceptance
of bids and require the readvertisement for bids. Failure to obtain a receipt when good faith notice is sent or delivered to the address
or telephone facsimile number on file with the State college shall not be considered
failure by the State college to provide notice.
