Prepare an RFQ that can be priced clearly

Put the guidance to work

Ask bidders to state assumptions, exclusions, schedule, materials and how changes will be authorized. Use the same scope for every bidder and record answers to clarification questions consistently.

Build a site-specific scope

A site assessment should connect visible symptoms with drainage, loading and the underlying structure. Confirm quantities, materials, work windows and acceptance requirements before comparing proposals. General guidance cannot replace project-specific investigation or required engineering.
