The City of Costa Mesa (“City”) is now conducting all of its bid and proposal solicitations online through PlanetBids^TM.  Businesses should register now for the commodities they are interested in bidding on or selling, or as an emergency vendor. The City is only accepting electronic bids. The initial bidders’ list will be developed from registered vendors.

The public can access and view active bids by clicking “Bid Opportunities” using the link above or below.  In order to view the bidding documents, you must be registered with PlanetBids.  Once a bid is closed, all bidding documents are locked and not viewable in PlanetBids.
