Important notes on Download/Install of AASHTOWare Project Bids Software

  • This page is primarily for contractors who do not use the Bid Express service to submit their bid.  Contractors using Bid Express should refer to the correspondence sent by Bid Express and utilize the Bid Express website for downloading and installing AASHTOWare Project Bids as there are additional one-time steps required to be able to submit your bid using Bid Express. 

 

  • Review and if needed, print the Installation Instructions for installing AASHTOWare Project Bids.  Having these instructions will help you in properly installing AASHTOWare Project Bids.

 

  • The AASHTOWare Project Bids application checks for updated versions of the software as it opens.  For that reason it is highly recommended to install Project Bids on a computer or laptop that uses the Windows Operating system (Windows 7 or Windows 10)  that will have internet access.

 

  • As a reminder, you will need to set up your Bidder ID as a part of the installation process for Project Bids.  The Bidder ID is your Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) Contractor Number that appears on the Pre-Qualification Certificate and is also shown on the cover page of any bidding proposal that you may purchase.  This number should be entered as five consecutive digits with no dashes. (54-321 should be entered ast 54321.) The Bidder ID is how your bid is associated to your company information in the Bid Tabulation process and care should be exercised to make sure it is correct.
