The bid period lasts for two weeks and runs from Thursday to Thursday. The first 13 days are the 'open bid period' and the high bid is posted on the ACCDC Facebook page and at the ACCDC office. You may submit one bid per day by submitting a new purchase form.

On the last day of bidding, the 14th day, only sealed bids are accepted at the ACCDC office from 9 to 10 am. Bid forms and envelopes are available at the ACCDC office. Bid forms are also available on this website at the top of this page and may be dropped off by you or your representative during this time period. You do not have to appear in person. Please put your name and the address of the property on the outside of the envelope.

Bid Opening is held at 11 am on the same day that sealed bids are accepted. Bid Opening is held at Citizens Square, 200 E Berry Street Room 185. It is open to the public.
