Bidding and Contracting

We are committed to contracting via competitive bidding processes to the maximum extent practical.

Generally speaking, Avista will select potential bidders on the basis of qualifications, resources and capabilities, prior experience with work of the type and magnitude contemplated, and financial strength. 

In the case of service-related proposals, bidders must generally agree in their proposal to obtain and maintain, for the term of the contract, minimum levels of liability insurance specified in the RFP. Bidders will be asked to accept Avista’s standard general contract conditions, also included in the RFP.

We expect your best bid the first time with any exceptions clearly noted. Suppliers are encouraged to present their products and services at prices that reflect the current competitive market. Alternate bids may be submitted but should be made in addition to a base bid which meets the required specification requirements.

All proposals are privately opened. All proposals are considered confidential information and the property of the bidder and Avista. Evaluation and award will be based on a combination of price and any other factors deemed pertinent by Avista.
