Bidding Information

Bid Express is the secure internet bidding website that contractors use to submit their bids to INDOT. After contractors register with Bid Express they can use the Expedite Bid software (available for download at Bid Express website) to prepare and submit their bids.

To download Expedite Bid software, please follow these steps:
  1. Go to www.bidx.com and log in.
  2. Select 'Indiana Department of Transportation' in the drop down menu and click 'Go'.
  3. Click on the Expedite link in the 'Downloads' section of the INDOT tab.
  4. Fill out the form and click the 'Download Expedite Bid' button.
  5. Scroll to Indiana in the list of states and click on the Expedite Bid software link to download it to your computer.
Electronic Bidding System All .ebl (electronic bid library) files should be downloaded (saved) from the WEB site to your hard drive and then opened through the Expedite Bid software.  This is especially true for the addendum files which only update the original .ebs files. Try opening the original .ebs file for the call no. you want from the original .ebl (library file), then while the file is opened in BID, click on File , then click on: Load Amendment.  Find the Addendum EBL file that you downloaded from the WEB site and click on: open (you may have to change: files of type to: amendment libraries-.ebs). You should see a box that has the update files, such as: 19mar180.001, etc.  You then can click on the listed update for the call no. you have currently opened on your screen.  The items that are changed, added, or deleted will show up in a box that you can print out and/or save to the file (no items will show if revision was not for Schedule of Pay Items).  The original .ebs file then will be updated with the changes. You can repeat the above steps  when another addendum file is issued.

  • Construction Contract Performance Bond

    The Construction Letting Email Inbox application is for contractors to submit electronic or scanned copies of contract documents they cannot submit through Bid Express. These documents include the Drug Testing Plan, and the Performance Bond with power of attorney letter and insurance license. INDOT requires a properly executed performance bond and drug testing policy be submitted with most bids, pursuant to 105 IAC 11-3-8 and IC 4-13-18. Failure to comply will result in rejection of bids. Refer to Recurring Special Provision (100-C-214) in the Contract Information Book (CIB) for instructions on submitting emails. Emails received are then posted to the Letting Page, where contractors can confirm that we received their email.

    For questions about submitting performance bonds and drug testing policies contact Trudy Wagoner at (317) 232-5099.
