Notice Description

Bidders have the opportunity to bid for one, or both elements; however, if a supplier bids for only one element, they will have to subcontract the other element. UDC would like one supplier with a potential subcontractor if needed. Suppliers may also engage local bike shops to support their delivery plan.
