The City reserves the right to utilize “anti-sniping” for reverse auctions. Anti-sniping is a tool that automatically extends the bid time for reverse auction by five (5) minutes if a vendor places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse auction. The anti-sniping effect will auto extend the reverse auction bid time any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes
of the reverse auction and can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the reverse auction ends.
In addition, the City of Canton reserves the right to amend the reverse auction deadline, if necessary, until a reasonable and un-prejudicial time after the current auction time at 10:00 A.M. LOCAL/CENTRAL TIME ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 2, 2025. In the event that said auction deadline is amended, all bidders known to have received an invitation to bid from their proposal by way of notice or request, will therefore be notified of the amended auction deadline.
