Question 1

What's included in bid preparation?

A complete bid package: detailed cost estimate, scope of work, exclusions and clarifications list, bid cover letter, subcontractor solicitation support and a bid form matched to the owner's RFP requirements.

Question 2

Can you respond to a specific RFP format?

Yes. We map our deliverables to the exact bid form, schedule of values or unit-price sheet provided by the owner, GC or public agency — including federal, state and municipal RFP formats.

Question 3

Do you help with subcontractor scoping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We draft trade-specific scope sheets so subs bid apples-to-apples, then assist with bid leveling and recommend the most competitive, qualified responses.

How do you handle tight bid deadlines?

Rush bid preparation is available with 24–48 hour turnaround on most projects. Tell us the bid date upfront and we'll commit to a delivery schedule that leaves time for your final review.

Do you write the technical narrative?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can author the technical approach, schedule narrative, safety and QA/QC sections, and a project-specific cover letter highlighting your firm's relevant experience.

Can you bid public/government work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're experienced with DBE/MBE/WBE requirements, prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon), Buy America and federal/state public-works bid formats.

What if we don't win the bid?

Do you support design-build bids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For design-build pursuits we combine preliminary budgeting, alternates pricing and qualifications support to help your team submit a competitive proposal.
