Bidding and Negotiation

The completed Construction Documents are used either to solicit competitive bids from pre-qualified general contractors or to negotiate with a single preferred contractor. The critical goal at this point is to make sure that the bidders get the clearest possible understanding of the project documents, site, and schedule so that an unambiguous, all-inclusive contract price can be agreed upon.
