Romtec develops a comprehensive design document for every project to help customers understand and approve the building design and scope of work. This design package is easily converted into a bid document by adding typical specification language. Customers simply need to request these documents when they are submitting proposals for an upcoming bid project. Romtec can even incorporate title blocks and letterheads to keep the document consistent with your package.

A bid specification is a document that is used to specify a design product in a bid package. The specification document specifies all the product details, in our case a building or structure, so that the customer gets the end product they want while complying with competitive bid laws.

Sole sourcing is a process where a public entity that is normally bound by competitive bid laws is allowed to purchase directly from a company. The bid process was establish to protect public funds in construction projects by ensuring the public was getting the best value through a low bidder. If, however, the low bidder undercuts what is actually possible, the bid process can result in change orders or lawsuits that end up making projects more expensive than the original budget. Sole sourcing often requires justification to a governing body to argue that a direct purchase is in the best interest of the public.

Bid specifications are created to make sure a municipality gets what it wants during a bid project. The specification is intended to outline the complete project to the bidders so that they can create accurate quotes for their bid. It also ensures that the building design meets all codes requirements from the building department while outlining the scope responsibilities of everyone involved.
