Vendors who are approved by WisDOT to be eligible bidders or plan holders and who want to remain confidential, will not appear on the lists of eligible bidders or plan holders on the HCCI website or Bid Express^tm. It is the responsibility of the vendor to ensure that they have been approved as an eligible bidder before submitting a bid.

Vendors who choose to be confidential are still contractually obligated, as all eligible bidders are, that by submission of the bid, the bidder contractually commits to all applicable laws, regulations and procedures, including any coordination with subcontractors and DBE community.

Electronic Contracting

• In an effort to reduce paper copies and the amount of time to process awarded contracts, the department will begin implementing electronic contracting (e-contracting) in the coming months. Since the September 2025 letting, the department has been reaching out to selected contractors to test the e-contracting process. The department hopes to use the January letting to begin e-contracting for most of the awarded proposals. Updates will be provided on the January 14, 2025 bid letting page if there is a change in implementation.
  • Awarded contractors will have the award package emailed through Bid Express. This means that the Bid Express email will be the address where the award package is sent.
  • Contract documents can be signed electronically or through a print/sign/scan process.
  • Notary stamps need to be legible. Resubmittal will be required if the stamp is unreadable.
  • Additional information will be provided within the award package to the awarded contractors.
