1. Read the whole package
Find the scope, worksite, required forms, amendments, question deadline and submission method. Do not assume a summary contains everything.
2. Separate facts from questions
Copy exact requirements into your checklist. Write down missing details as questions. Ask through the buyer’s authorized channel; never invent an answer.
3. Prepare evidence and a price
Use work your company actually performed. Check permissions for references. Include labor, supplies, equipment, travel and payment timing. Use the required price form.
4. Review before sending
Check signatures, amendments, attachments, deadline and time zone. Submit through the official buyer channel, keep the receipt, and record the actual outcome.
