2. Selected subcontractors will be asked to submit a pre-qualifi cation statement, which
is typically similar in form to the A305 contractor’s qualifi cation statement, as well as
Barr & Barr information on recently completed projects. Th e purpose of this document is to gather
information on fi nancial stability, bonding capacity and relevant experience.

team members.
1. Upon issue of the GMP pricing package by the design team, an electronic invitation to
bid is sent to all pre-qualifi ed sub-contractors.
2. Th e invitation bid package would include an Instructions to Subcontractors statement,
which would include a list of bid documents, bidding requirements and project specifi c
information to ensure all bidders are submitting proposals based upon the same project
information. Th is would be sent via Box.Net.
3. Within the fi rst week of the bid period Barr & Barr, Inc. will contact all selected
subcontractors, to confi rm receipt of the invitation and willingness to submit a bid. In
this way bid coverage, which is critical to competitive pricing, is ensured.
4. If at this time Barr & Barr, Inc. analyzes that there is not enough coverage in any section
of the project to ensure a competitive price, we will, with the approval of the Owner and
Design Team, add additional subs to bid the project. Initially these bidders will come
from the pre-selected subs which did not make the fi nal list. No subcontractors will be
asked to bid without fi rst completing a pre-qualifi cation statement and being approved
by the Team.
5. All bids will be received in a sealed package and a scheduled bid opening will be
coordinated with Owner and respective consultants. All bids are recorded on a leveling
sheet where the qualifi cation is outlined. Th is leveling sheet will show the bidders
company names, initial proposal, documents and specs, scope of work issues and fi nal
bid number. Owner and the consultants will be part of this development. Th is is part
of our open book procedures.
6. All bids will be scoped using the following parameters:
• Completeness of Scope
• Competitiveness of price
• Means and Methods
• Availability of Manpower and Financial Solvency
• Commitment to work within the project schedule
Early Packages Bid Process (if required)
Th e bid process for early packages, either complete trade or equipment pre-purchase, follows
the same procedures with the following exceptions.
In schedule driven projects, or in trades with long lead items, such as stone or steel, it may
be necessary to receive bids without complete construction drawings. In this scenario,
more emphasis will be given to unit prices, material/labor and scope breakdowns. In this
way, upon release of the fi nal drawings, many potential changes will be covered by this
additional level of pricing. Th is ensures competitive pricing of the construction documents
will be maintained, while allowing early procurement of a subcontractor.
Upon release of the construction documents, early package sub-contractors will be given
the opportunity to review the documents, which will be reconciled with Barr & Barr’s in
house scope review of the trade.
