Engineers routinely design and bid projects. The Bid Proposal Form, which summarizes how the contractor will be compensated, becomes a major factor in the tone for the working relationship between the engineer/owner and the contractor. By considering variations on how items can be measured and paid, the engineer may create more win-win conditions between the owner and staff, the contractor and the contractor's material suppliers. This course covers some basic techniques as well as unique alternatives and describes some typical results that can be expected when using these bidding parameters.
This course will have relevance to any engineer that creates bid documents. The examples in the course relate to earthwork construction, but most any work that can be expressed for bidding purposes can be substituted into this material.
Prerequisite knowledge required to complete this course: The engineer should have a basic understanding of the bid creation process, reviewing bids received, and involvement during the contractor's execution of the work.
