Bid Estimate Instructions

To get the very most out of the Advanced Selling and Project Management Techniques training, we ask that you take the time to take part in this exercise.  It is not mandatory, but it will definitely improve your experience, and it will give you and Sean the opportunity to assess your bid estimate and your proposal. Please have your bid in by December 10, 2020.

The Public Safety project is an OPEN BID, public works project bidding to at least 5 general contractors in your area. The jobsite will be less than 30 minutes from your shop. Perform a take-off of the Public Safety project.

1. Create a CornellCookson estimate in WebGen/Access.

2. Ask your CC Estimator to review your estimate and set your discount level.

3. Once your CC Estimator has discounted the estimate, use the new material total for your Bid Estimate.

4. Open the BID ESTIMATE TEMPLATE 2020 file.

5. Enter the material total from your CC estimate into your BID ESTIMATE.

6. Follow the "Instructions to Bidders" in columns I-M on the BID ESTIMATE TEMPLATE file.

7. Open the CornellCookson electronic form and enter the values into the appropriate fields.

8. Make sure to attach your completed Bid Estimate, Final Estimate from WebGen/Access and Proposal to the last question before hitting Submit.

You will receive a confirmation email from Sean.  If you do not receive a confirmation, your bid was not received. Submit the form again, and text Sean at 570-332-1229 to inform him that you just resent the form with file attachments.
