Rank the proposals and then attempt to negotiate a contract with the first choice builder . While price is not the only consideration , if the bid of the preferred contractor seems high , ask the contractor to review the bid and ask for clarification on the higher figure .
When offering a public bid , it is extremely important to ensure the products to be used and the methods of construction are equivalent to your specifications . Everything specified should be included in the contract price ; this might include responsibility for permits , site preparation , electric power , taxes , insurance , removal and replacement of landscaping and restoration of disturbed areas .
