The instructions to bidders prohibit exceptions, but the estimator wants to attach a qualification excluding after-hours work shown in the documents. What should the GC do?

Correct Answer

C) Use the allowed prebid process instead of a prohibited exception

The bidding documents control whether qualifications or exceptions are allowed in the bid.

Answer Options
A
Attach the exception anyway because bid qualifications always override instructions to bidders
B
Omit the work silently and rely on the subcontractor to negotiate it after award
C
Use the allowed prebid process instead of a prohibited exception
D
Send the qualification only to the low subcontractor and not to the owner

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The bidding documents control whether qualifications or exceptions are allowed in the bid.
