Bids & Proposals
The City Clerk's Office typically conducts bid openings on Wednesdays at 3 pm. Information regarding bid announcements will be made available on IonWave and will also be published in the Stillwater News Press, the designated newspaper of record. In cases where necessary, supplementary notifications may be printed in relevant trade publications.
The City of Stillwater uses an online bidding system for the procurement of goods and services. Suppliers interested in bidding on City projects must register before submitting bids.
Registration is free and can be completed by visiting: stillwater.ionwave.net
