How to view, download, and print submitted bids (BC Pro)

When a bidder submits their bid through BuildingConnected, you can easily view it and download it to your computer or print it for your reference.

To view a submitted bid

Click into the subcontractor in the bidder list and find the "Proposal" section on the right-hand side. 

Note: If there are revisions, the most recent revision will be shown. The original proposal and other revisions will be collapsed, and you can click on them to open and view those details instead. 

Click on the base bid value.



A pop-up window will appear with their submitted proposal, which includes their responses to your bid form if you have one for the project. 

To download or print a submitted bid form

Click on the base bid value in the Proposals section and when viewing the proposal, click on "Print" at the top right of the pop-up window.



The submitted bid form will open in a new tab in your browser with options to download and print, depending on the browser you are using. This is a screenshot from Google Chrome with download and print icons at the top right corner: 

To download any attachments submitted by the bidder

In the pop-up window with the submitted bid form, click on the attachment name and it will download immediately to your computer.

How to download all submitted bid forms and attachments for all bidders

You can quickly download all the documents associated with all of your bidders in a specific project.

Navigate to the "Reports" tab in your project and find the "Bid Archive". Click "Download". 



This will download a zip file of every bid and attachments submitted by companies in this project to your computer. Depending on the number of bidders and documents you have, it may take some time. 

When you open the zip file in your computer, you will see folders for each bid package, then a folder for each bidder with their submitted bid form and any attachments accordingly.
