PREPARATION OF BID DOCUMENTS
 

Liaison with other Consultants in preparation of Bidding and Contract Documents for the main building contract and specialist sub-contracts as required by local conditions. These documents may be used for negotiation or competitive bidding and normally would comprise, Bidding Requirements; Instructions to Bidders; Form of Bid Proposal; Conditions of Contract; Specifications and/or Detailed Bills of Quantities; Schedules.
The Bills of Quantities would include description and quantities of all labors and materials required to complete the works contemplated. In the case of competitive bidding (either open or selective) the detailed Bills of Quantities will be used by the Contractor to price their bids. As all Contractors will be pricing the same quantities, the bids received will be based on an identical interpretation of the scope of works. Hence, a return of more realistic bids is expected without any possibility of over or under measurement of quantities by individual contractor. Whereas in the case of negotiated bid, the same objective can be achieved since the same quantities as prepared will still be used for the negotiation.
The Bills of Quantities will also greatly assist the successful contractor in ordering his materials, programming, site management, payment claims, etc. These will also form the basis for evaluating the cost of any additions/omissions, and other variations to the Contract.
