Bid Selection :
Whether the owner chooses an open or a closed bid process for the project,
the bids will then come in, and the selection of a contractor can commence
based on a number of criteria:
Low-Bid Selection:
The bottom line — aka the price — is the main focus for the project owner.
The winning contractor is the one who submits the lowest price for the
project.
Bid Selection :
Qualifications-Based Selection:
In this process, the project owner asks contractors to submit with their bid a
request for qualifications (RFQ), which summarizes the contractor’s
experience, plans for management, organizational flow, and success in staying
on budget and on schedule. The project owner then chooses the contractor
with the best qualifications.
Best-Value Selection:
In this approach, the project owner considers both the bid price and the
contractor’s qualifications to find the best combination of cost and skill set.
