A thorough tender readiness review protects general contractors from committing hundreds of estimating hours to high-risk or incomplete bid packages.
Why First-Pass Audit Matters Before diving into detailed quantity takeoffs, estimating managers must verify: - Mandatory pre-bid site meeting dates and locations - Digital bid bond requirements (CCDC 220 formats, percentage thresholds) - Stated cash allowances and liquidated damages clauses - Referenced drawing packages and addenda completeness
Key Disqualifiers to Flag Early Unrepresented bidders at mandatory site meetings face immediate disqualification. Similarly, submitting paper bid bonds when digital surety signatures are mandated will invalidate your proposal.
