Decline Invitation to Bid
QUESTIONS TO BART IN RED BELOW
Your firm has received an invitation to bid on a project via JobPlanner Construction Management Software and you have declined to Bid through the email you received. The JobPlanner application opens and displays the Project Dashboard (see below for more information).
The Estimator/Project Manager will see that you do not want to send a Bid and will therefore not send you any more information about the Project.
If no further actions are required, the application can be closed. To access the application again if its closed, access the email again and see the Invitation to Bid. Even if its declined, the Jobplanner application can be accessed again through the links in the email until (BART - IS THIS ONLY UNTIL THE BID DUE DATE OR SOME OTHER FACTOR THAT THEY CAN STILL ACCESS JOBPLANNER EVEN IF THE DECLINE).
