Florida Construction Proposal Evaluation Services

The developer or owner is the party at greatest risk hence should be the major beneficiary of the bidding process. There are several underling strategies at play in the bidding process. Overall at completion, the developer or owner needs to have value for his or her money whereas the contractor would like to make a profit for effort and time.

The bid package comprises the construction documents that are the basis of the contractor’s proposal. The bid amount should represent the contractor’s desired compensation, inclusive of profit, for completing all the work described and indicated in the construction documents without qualifications and exclusions.

Acceptance of the proposal and the subsequent contract for construction should be based on a careful examination by the developer or owner’s construction cost consultant. This is where the consultant’s pre-bid pricing and documentation of scopes becomes the basis of evaluating all proposals. If a proposal seems too good to be true, it most likely should be questioned. Because the bid amount is reasonably acceptable, the need for ‘balanced’ pricing throughout should not be overlooked; one of the least desirable practices in construction is ‘using Peter to pay Paul’. The inability of the contractor to meet any respective obligation is one the most common reasons for the aggrieved party ‘walking off’ the job.

The existence of a binding legal document does not guarantee that execution of the work may not be supplanted by time spent in legal anglings or even in the courts. ‘Time is money’ is never more true than when one discovers that nothing in the construction contract will guarantee compensation for every dollar lost by unplanned delays or interruptions.

It is incumbent on the developer or owner to maintain control of all aspects of the project from concept to completion, which may best be achieved by employing a knowledgeable, independent construction management consultant.
