I am confused that some of your solicitations are opened publicly and some are not. Is there a reason why?
Yes. The city primarily uses two types of solicitations to award contracts. The most common solicitation is the request for bid (RFB), also known as a "sealed bid." This solicitation is used when the city knows what goods or services are needed, and want to receive the best price. Vendors are asked to submit their best bid in a sealed envelope at a specified date and time, and are open to the public. For more information, please call the Purchasing Division at 770-794-5699.

2. What can I do if I feel an award has been improperly made as a result of a solicitation?
3. What does, "Award will be made to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder" mean? Even if I am the lowest bidder, is it possible I may not be awarded the contract?
