There is no cost to the County for this service.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Onvia.com's Demandstar system is similar to an "online" building exchange with
added features such as project document downloading or hardcopy orders to its
subscribers. This non-exclusive agreement with Onvia.com takes advantage of
today's technology in broadcasting our formal construction and professional
services needs.

project in its normal fashion utilizing required legal notices, direct notification/
solicitations of firms on Department lists, website postings, and other forms of
advertisement.
