Contractor Bidding / Clarification / Selection

PH&C levels contractor bids, clears exclusions, and recommends the builder whose price matches your scope.

The bid opening is not the selection. PH&C takes the proposals apart, asks the questions, and tells you which contractor priced the work you intend to build.

What PH&C handles

Building a leveling sheet with base bid, alternates, unit prices, and allowances in the same rows for each bidder.
Identifying exclusions, qualifications, and assumptions that change what a number includes.
Sending written clarification questions and recording the answers.
Checking schedules, staffing, insurance, bonding, and references.
Interviewing finalists when the project warrants it.
Following the procurement rules that apply to public and grant-funded work.
Presenting a recommendation with the reasons behind it.

What you get

A clear comparison of what each bid includes.
A cleared number, with the remaining exclusions listed and priced.
A recommendation that considers price, schedule, experience, and the team assigned to your project.
A file that documents how the selection was made.

How it connects

The invitation that bidders answer is the RFP. The agreement that follows is developed under contractor negotiations and contracts. Both are part of contractor procurement. If you have bids in hand and need help comparing them, contact PH&C.
