Default Mandatory Prebids

This is kind of funny. I went to a mandatory pre bid meeting today and no other contractors showed up.One guy showed up almost 45 minutes late but they wouldn't let him sign in. Another guy called and said he missed his connecting flight.
Tomorrow is the second day of the walkthrough. This should be interesting.

Not necessarily. My bid has to be within a certain percentage of the engineering consultant's estimate or they can put it out for rebid.

It's like playing Horseshoes with the Engineer's estimate as the stake. If I shoot too high or too low I lose.

I love mandatory walks. It lets you know who your competition is.

I remember being on mandatory walk for demolition contractors and I was the only one that showed up. The entity decided to add a second mandatory walk to project, again I was the only one to show up. I got the job and made 40% profit.

I later found out that there were 4 other bidders whose bids were thrown out for not attending the walk. I would have finished 3rd had they gone to the walk.
