1. Can I request a copy of the bidders or planholder's list?

Yes. The best way to request this list is to call 770-974-5699 or email the assigned buyer to the associated project located on the website. For more information, please visit the Proposals and Bids page.

2. How can I obtain information about a posted or advertised bid?

You can obtain information by visiting the Purchasing Division at City Hall or by calling 770-794-5699.

3. How do I know when the city is interested in making a purchase?

Look in the Marietta Daily Journal on Friday's legal ad section.

Pick up the bid opening list at City Hall's Purchasing Department.

Check the opening list on the Proposals and Bids page.

4. What records are available for public inspection, and at what point in the contract award process may they be inspected? Is there a fee?

A city contract is available for inspection by any member of the general public only after it has been awarded. The city cannot release any contract information (except for informal bid tabulations) before a contract has been awarded. The only exception is bid tabulation sheets, which are compiled at the daily bid openings. You may get a copy of the bid tabulation you are interested in by requesting it from the Purchasing Department. Because of the volume of requests, we cannot fax bid tabulations. Please note that these documents are non-binding, pending the outcome of inspection of bids received.

If you would like to inspect a city contract, you must send a letter to Marietta's Purchasing manager. If you are a member of the news media and would like a copy of a city contract, please request this through our City Clerk's Office. Please provide a bid number and bid description if you have it. You may fax, email or mail the letter to the Purchasing Division.

For more information, please call the Purchasing Division at 770-794-5699.
