(a) Sealed bid openings are open to
attendance by interested bidders and the public.
(b) A procurement agency that invited the
submission of bids, shall open and orally read the bids as soon as practicable
after the date and hour shown on the inquiry, at the place designated. No
action other than the reading of the names of the bidders, the terms, and the
prices bid is required at the bid opening.
(c) On complex, multi-line or multi-option
bids, the procuring agency may open and read only the names of bidders. This
procedure is used to reduce the time needed for the public opening of bids.
When this option is exercised, detailed results of individual bids will be made
available to the bidders, and the public within a reasonable time.
(2) REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS. Proposals shall be opened at the time and date specified. The names of the proposers may be read aloud. When the names are read aloud, a written record of the names of the proposers shall be established. Proposals need not be evaluated at this time, nor awards announced.
