As a Commercial Developer, Beiler-Campbell knows the importance of documentation. The saying "If it's not written down, it doesn't exist" holds true in most situations. The RFP has been a long-standing and widely utilized document in the construction industry. It provides the necessary information in order to receive an informed proposal from a consultant, subcontractor, etc.
Let's review the "key ingredients" to a well-constructed RFP:
- Your Complete Contact Information
- The Project Name
- Date of Request
- The Project Description (Brief Paragraph)
- Table of Contents
- Authorized Parties
- Standards
- Instructions to Bidders/Responsibilities
- Fees
- Permits
- Submittal Instructions/Copies/Form of Agreement
- Project Schedule
- Qualifications/Goals
- Overview/Experience
- Organization
- Completed Projects/Project References
- Summary Statement
- Non-Collusion Clause Form
- Insurance Requirements Form
- Contractors Pre-Qualification Form
The American Institute of Architects offers these forms online for purchase and download. The Philly metro area branch is located at www.aiaphiladelphia.org. As a Development Firm, it is essential that you are properly covered by legal documentation which is complete, concise and signed and dated by authorized parties. This protection is priceless when engaging in a construction project of any kind.
