ABSTRACT

This method of procurement invites contractors to bid on a defi ned scope of work. The contractors review bid documents and submit associated costs in the form of a bid to perform the work. Bid documents typically consist of drawings, specifi cations and a project schedule. Together they establish the basis for expectations and a means for quality control. The Bid process also allows your team to defi ne the time frame within which the work is to be completed and establish reproductions for failure to meet deadlines.
