WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
• FAR 13.004(a): why a quote is not an offer, and why that makes every RFQ a bid you can accept, withdraw or negotiate
• The $149,500 Navy shipyard heat treatment furnace demo, bid sight unseen, subbed to Tamco Demolition for $71,000, split two ways
• The word-for-word phone script used on the contracting officer to buy 24 to 48 hours before deciding
• The $99,800 sewer mound job in Oklahoma bought for $30,000 by a guy who still doesn't know what a sewer mound is
• The script for getting a local subcontractor to price a federal job fast, and why "give him a price" beats a full estimate
• A $884,000 San Francisco cooling tower job bid three times as the only bidder, the 15%-over-government-estimate rule, and the helicopter that flew the towers to the roof
Learn how to find, bid, negotiate and perform federal construction contracts.
