When completing the bid in Bid Express, most data must be entered in the provided text boxes. In some sections, the bidder may upload documents that provide the same information as entered data. This option is available for Forms B5, B6, B7, and B8. This option may also be available for any forms added as a result of a special provision. (Forms that bidders can complete either by entering the information into Bid Express text boxes or by uploading a document will state "Optional: Vendor is not required to complete." This means the bidder is not required to provide the information via data entry into Bid Express text boxes but can upload a document instead of the Bid Express data entry. The information requested by the form is required to be provided by the bidder using one of these methods.) The Bidder's surety shall complete/upload the bid bond and related documents through either Surety2000 or Tinubu: bid bond form (for Tinubu only, available on Tinubu for surety agents), surety power of attorney, most recent surety financial statement, and current State of Ohio Department of Insurance Certificate of Compliance.
