Section 12-6-3.106.08.3 - Timelines

Amendments shall be distributed within a reasonable time to allow prospective bidders to consider them in preparing their bids. If the time and date set for receipt of bids will not permit such preparation, such time shall be increased to the extent possible in the amendment. As per Section 31-7-13(c)(ii), Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated, no addendum to bid specifications may be issued within two (2) working days of the time established for the receipt of bids unless such addendum also amends the bid opening to a date not less than five (5) working days after the date of the addendum.

Commentary

Amendments should be used to:

(1) Make any changes in the Invitation for Bids such as changes in quantity, purchase descriptions, delivery schedules, and opening dates;

(2) Correct defects or ambiguities; or

(3) Furnish to other bidders information given to one bidder if such information will assist the other bidders in submitting bids or if the lack of such information would prejudice the other bidders. Any such information when not given to all bidders shall be cause for rejecting all bids.
