Construction bid preparation checklist.

Before a construction bid goes out, check the solicitation requirements, approved company facts, addenda, required forms and final approvals. Use this checklist to organize the work; the issued solicitation controls.

Read the instructions first

  • Confirm deadline, time zone and submission method.
  • List all forms, signatures, attachments, addenda and page limits.
  • Record eligibility and qualification requirements.
  • Assign an owner to every requested item.

Assemble approved facts

Collect company qualifications, project references, insurance or bonding information where required, and the bidder's authorized commercial terms. Verify each fact with the customer before using it. Missing facts should be flagged, never invented.

Build a reviewable response

Map the response to the solicitation's requested order. Keep pricing, scope narrative, exceptions, assumptions and attachments consistent. Maintain a requirements matrix that shows open items.

Final customer approval

The bidder checks facts, rates, legal commitments, authorized signer and final package before submission. Bidmere prepares scoped material. It does not guarantee responsiveness or award, and it does not submit on its own.
