“SCOPE CREEP” CONTROL
 
Bidding with greater detail and accuracy
  • Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) gives specific information from drawing details/information to better understand complete scope for each bidding contractor.
  • Traditional bid package write up describing work scopes and outlining specifications can not cover all of contractors’ responsibility for every detail/information on drawings.
  • A contractor’s proposal can be much more accurate and complete using Bid Package Clarifications (BPC)

Reduce scope conflict and cost
  • Using Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) each contractor knows where their work starts and stops, therefore less confusion or possible change orders.
  • Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) reduces duplication of work between contractors, therefore less cost.
  • Bidding with detail drawing information reduces gaps and gray areas and future “Scope Creep” causing project budget problems.

Reduce “when in doubt...add”
  • If contractor’s are unsure when reviewing drawings during bidding they will “when in doubt...add”. Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) reduces this unnecessary cost increase.
  • The traditional description of work scopes and specification do not clearly cover all the information on the drawings and without BPC there will be “doubt”.
  • BPC helps contractor’s confidence when bidding and they can be more competitive.

SCOPE MANAGEMENT FOR ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION
 
Jobsite Management Tool
  • The Project Manager and/or Job Superintendant can use Bid Package Clarification (BPC) to manage the project construction with contractor’s well defined scopes.
  • Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) are very specific and describe each contractor’s responsibility to assist them during actual construction.
  • All contractor’s will have available to them detail information Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) to help their onsite labor team during construction.

Reduce Unnecessary RFI’s and Delays
  • A major challenge during actual on-site construction is when contractors disagree or do not understand their responsibility for specific drawing detail/information. BPC minimizes this problem.
  • BPC can reduce unnecessary “Request for Information” (RFI’s) that can delay the project when waiting for a response to an RFI.

Contractor’s Better Understand Their Scope/Responsibilities
  • With BPC’s all contractor’s better understand their responsibilities for the project based on drawing details/information not just by description of their work and listing of required specifications.
  • Bid Package Clarification’s (BPC) are a major source of information for the entire field operation.
  • Once you have completed a project utilizing BPC’s it will be obvious, this jobsite management tool saves time and money.
