The first step of this phase is preparation of the bid documents to go to potential contractors for pricing. The bid document set often includes a project manual with advertisement for bid, instructions to bidders, the bid form, bid documents, the owner-contractor agreement, bonds, and any other sections necessary for a successful bid. For some projects that have unique aspects or complex requirements, a pre-bid meeting for potential contractors may be scheduled. During the bidding phase, LPCI can provide the following services:
- Notice to Bidders
- Pre-Bid Meeting
- Issuing Addendum
- Bid Opening
- Recommendation of award or rejection
- Managing Contract, Bonds, and Insurance
- Pre-Construction Meeting
