ANNOUNCEMENT: Electronic Bidding System Replacement (dates amended below)
In the Spring of 2021, the phased implementation of the new Electronic Bidding Subsystem (EBS) of the Construction Management System (CMS) powered by Exevision, will be rolled-out by the Vermont Agency of Transportation to replace the Bid Express bidding system. The goal of the Construction Management System (CMS) Replacement Project is to replace the aging AASHTOWare client/server software used by VTrans today. It is important that the Agency obtain the best possible replacement software and fully transition to a new solution before modules of the current software sunsets. The project provides the Agency the opportunity to secure functionality not found in our current system including business process and document management.
The first phase CMS roll-out are two major subsystems known as Integrated Project Development - iPD Web and Integrated Contractors Exchange - iCX Web and will handle all aspects of the electronic bidding process including: advertisement, authorization of bidders (prequalification), bid submission, bid openings, and the award and execution of the contract.
iCX Web Contractor Training is planned and will be scheduled several times over the next few months. Important dates are listed below.
