Integrated Contractors Exchange
iCXWeb
for Contractors
iCXWeb is a web-based platform designed for contractors to streamline electronic bidding and enhance collaboration with transportation agencies throughout the construction project lifecycle.
The integrated Contractors Exchange (iCXWeb) web application simplifies the bidding process by guiding contractors through the steps required to submit a complete, compliant bid. It reduces the risk of non-responsive submissions by automatically checking for errors and offering clear recommendations before the bid is submitted. iCXWeb also supports collaborative bid development, allowing multiple team members to work on different parts of the bid simultaneously—streamlining the process and improving coordination.
Once authorized to bid, contractors use iCXWeb to access project bid item lists and assemble a complete electronic bid package. This includes required components such as bid item pricing, bid bonds, DBE commitments or Good Faith Efforts, certifications, and other agency-specified documents. The completed bid is digitally signed and securely transmitted via the internet to the iPDWeb SecureVault™, where it is held in encrypted form until the official bid opening. Contractors may revise and resubmit their bid multiple times before the deadline—only the most recent submission is opened.
​
iCXWeb also manages bid amendments automatically. Contractors are notified when an addendum is issued, and the system ensures that a bid cannot be submitted unless all amendments have been acknowledged—helping prevent disqualified bids.
Beyond bidding, iCXWeb supports contractors throughout the construction phase. Contractors use the application to fulfill project-specific requirements such as submitting subcontractor agreements, reporting payments to subcontractors, and logging hours worked by on-the-job trainees. The system provides visibility into real-time compliance data, including DBE and OJT tracking.
​
When permitted by the agency, contractors also have read-only access to contract and project data through iCXWeb. This reduces the agency’s burden of manually responding to routine information requests and keeps both parties aligned on project status. Where required, contractors can also use iCXWeb to submit prompt payment documentation, approvals, questions, and supporting documents directly to agency staff.
SecureVault
The iCXWeb SecureVault™ is the secure bridge between the contractor’s iCXWeb application and the agency’s Electronic Bidding System (EBS). When a contractor submits a bid electronically, SecureVault receives the encrypted bid and stores it in a protected repository. The bid remains completely inaccessible until the official date and time of bid opening, at which point it is transmitted to the agency’s EBS for review.
​
In addition to receiving bids, SecureVault also provides outbound data to the contractor’s iCXWeb application, including bid packages, current contractor certifications, certified DBE lists, bidder rosters, and real-time addendum updates. This ensures that contractors always work with the most up-to-date and complete information during the bidding process.
​
Because SecureVault is a third-party service maintained by ExeVision, contractors can be confident that their bid data remains confidential and secure. Only authorized agency personnel can access submitted bids—and only after the designated bid opening time.
