Owner's Toolkit: Bid Leveling Workbook (Excel)

$49.00

Is the lowest bid really the lowest? This Excel workbook lines up up to five general contractor bids on equal terms, so you can see what each one will actually cost you before you sign.

What's inside

  • Bid leveling sheet by cost division, with fee, insurance, bonds and alternates
  • Scope checklist of 21 commonly excluded items (permits, testing, temporary utilities, low voltage and more) that prices each bidder's gaps automatically
  • Leveled summary that ranks bidders and warns you when the lowest bid as submitted isn't the lowest after leveling
  • Clarification log for written questions and answers
  • Step-by-step "How to Use" tab and a worked example
