Proposal Request Instructions
Please read this page before accessing proposals online.
Unofficial Copy
Unofficial copies of proposals for materials and supplies from EBMUD may be viewed online before requesting an official copy of the proposal. Unofficial copies contain information from the actual proposal, but are coded with a watermark rendering them unofficial.
Note: A bid from an unofficial proposal copy will not be accepted, and will be returned.
To view an unofficial copy of a proposal, click on the proposal number. Online
proposals can be viewed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free
software. 
Official Copy
There are several ways to obtain an official copy of a proposal.
-
To receive an official copy of a proposal by e-mail, you must use the Proposal Request Form. This Request ensures that you receive the latest version of an official proposal, including all addenda. The requested proposal will be e-mailed in PDF format.
Occasionally, addenda to an existing proposal will be issued. Your Proposal Request will ensure you receive the addenda for that proposal at the e-mail address you submit on the Request page. If you do not wish communication to your e-mail address, please call to request a proposal by mail.

To receive an official copy by U.S. mail, e-mail purchase@ebmud.com.
