Bid Opportunities

As part of Delta County’s commitment to accessibility and compliance with ADA standards, we require all submitted documents, especially PDFs, to be accessible and originally created files. Scanned PDFs often do not meet accessibility standards and can hinder our review process.

What We Need from You:

• Please submit original, accessible documents that are created electronically, not scanned copies.
• Ensure your documents are ADA-compliant by:
  • Using proper headings and logical structure
  • Including alternative text for images
  • Making hyperlinks descriptive
  • Using accessible fonts and color contrast
• Utilize accessibility checkers (such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat’s accessibility tools) to verify your files.
• Submit your final, accessible PDF by deadline of the RFP or bid.

Helpful Resources:
For detailed guidelines on creating ADA-compliant documents, please see step-by-step guides below for common applications and video tutorials.
