Bidders will not be able to claim that a portion "did not scan" or "are missing" as an excuse for missing documents. Late bids due to "internet outages", "slow internet", etc will not be accepted. Emailed/Faxed bids will not be accepted. These methods of transmission have limitations that make it more difficult to guarantee that a bid package has not been opened before the set bid date and time. 5. The Lincolnton Housing Authority is authorizing this method as a onetime method, and this procedure may not be an option for future bids. Bid should be sent early enough so that it is actually received, not just sent, no later than the Bid Date and Time.
