A wiki is a low cost, general purpose do-it-yourself approach for ad-hoc projects, it doesn't compete with functionally rich packages, but may be perfect when you only have a few bids a year...

Unfortunately, Cobb County is using a legacy system from CGI-AMS and their supplier portal product that does not support such document exchange ;-) Zoli,
