Project Info Screen: Add Bid time to new Bid Due Date, and Move Bid Times to right of Bid Date
Now that there is a GC Login option in Admin>My Record>User Preferences, there needs to be a bid time for new/second Bid Due Date. Move the bid time pull-down to the right of the Bid Date field (omit the field heading "Bid Time" since it is understood). This way, it looks clean and easy to understand with both bid times to the right of Bid Dates when user wants to input both the sub Bid Date and the GC Bid Date.
GC Bid Date is now a user preference to Show or Not on the invitation and on the Project info screen. It will default to Not show.
Older projects may need a Bid Date input, so before sending an older project make sure to Preview before sending to make sure it is showing your desired Bid Date and Time.
Now both bid dates have a Bid Time and are working properly, showing on all Project lists and on the Bid Calendar (shows GC Bid Date unless there is none, then it will show the standard (Sub) Bid Date. Next we are working on the user option to show both Bid dates in different colors on your Bid Calendar.

Can the sub bid date and time be an option?? Don't want it showing on the invitation to bid. Can be confusing to some.

I agree. We need a time for Sub Bids. In fact I care not to have the General Contractor's Bid date and time. Then we will get calls from subcontractors wanting to extend the time they get their bid into us. I suggest that if the GC Bid Date is null that the text "GC Bid Date" not even show on the invite.
