We assist our clients in bid solicitation and receipt, bid tabulation and contract award.
We often schedule a pre-bid conference with all interested bidders to answer any questions of concern or confusion prior to bidding the project.  If required, an addenda is to the contract are then prepared,to document design changes or clarifications prior to the opening of bids.
DEC conducts a bid opening with Owner and all prospective bidders to select a contractor for the project.  We prepare a written evaluation of bids that includes a technical and cost evaluation of all alternative equipment offered by the bidding contractors.

A pre-construction conference is held with the lowest responsible bidder, the client and appropriate funding agency officials.  At the preconstruction conference, a start-date for construction is established, a Notice to Proceed is issued and final contract documents are executed and distributed to all parties involved with the project.
