Otter Tail County posts OneOffice bidding resources, Jan. 15 bid opening

Otter Tail County has published OneOffice bidding resources on its official website and listed a Jan. 15, 2026 bid opening for project SAP 056-635-042, steps county officials say are intended to streamline access to plans and electronic submissions for contractors.

The county has designated ottertailcounty.gov as its official site for the publication of bids, requests for information, and requests for proposals. The Highway Department provides project and bidding information there for use by contractors. The county’s web page includes links to the OneOffice portal, bidVAULT, MnDOT eAdvert and other project and bidding resources to centralize how local firms find and respond to county work.

OneOffice hosts current and upcoming projects, project plans and proposals, post-bid information, and an electronic submission system. The county points contractors to the OneOffice Guide to Bidding, which explains the process from creating an account to submitting a bid electronically. The county page explicitly lists the Jan. 15, 2026 bid opening for SAP 056-635-042 and instructs contractors how to access plans and file bids through the portal.

Additional channels cited for locating project notices include bidVAULT, where users can select Otter Tail County, and MnDOT eAdvert. The county site provides direct links to those services so contractors can cross-check documents and deadlines without navigating multiple sources.

For local contractors, the updated online posting matters because it clarifies where to find project plans and how to submit bids in electronic form. That clarity can reduce administrative delays, broaden competition among regional firms, and speed the county’s procurement timeline. For residents, centralized online posting supports transparency in how taxpayer-funded projects are advertised and awarded, and it can affect how quickly maintenance and construction work reaches county roads and infrastructure.

With the Jan. 15 bid opening now listed as having occurred, the next steps for the county and bidders include post-bid documentation on OneOffice and eventual contract award announcements. Contractors should review the OneOffice Guide to Bidding and the county’s project pages to confirm timelines and submission details. Residents seeking visibility into county road work can monitor the official site for post-bid updates and award information.
