Uploading large documents may take time, depending on the size of the file(s) and your Internet connection speed. The Bonfire portal can be accessed using Microsoft Edge, Google, and Chrome. Electronic submission is subject to electronic interface latency, which can result in transmission delays. All respondents assume the risk of late transmission/submission. The City shall not be held liable if a respondent is unable to submit a complete submittal before the on or before the deadline due to transmission delays or any other technical issues or obstructions. All submissions must be submitted electronically prior to the close date and time under the respective Project via the Bonfire Procurement Portal: https://fortworthtexas.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities Failure to submit all required information listed in the Solicitation will be grounds for rejection of a submittal as non-responsive. No late submittals shall be accepted. Submittals delivered in any manner other than using the Bonfire Procurement Portal will not be accepted or considered. If, upon being opened, a submission is unreadable to the degree that material conformance to the requirements of the procurement specifications cannot be ascertained, such submission will be rejected without liability to the City, unless such bidder provides clear and convincing evidence (a) of the content of the submission as originally submitted and (b) that the unreadable condition of the Electronic Bid was caused solely by error or malfunction of the Bonfire Platform or its Procurement Portal. Failure to scan a clear or readable copy of a bid into the system does not constitute and shall not be considered an error or malfunction of the Bonfire Platform’s Procurement Portal.
