Technology Construction Bidding
|
The Issue
Under certain circumstances, a building owner may need to conduct a procurement bid for technology systems that are part of a larger capital construction project. The procurement process requires a significant investment in time as well as intimate knowledge of both the technology industry and administrative/legal requirements.
Higher Ed and Healthcare organizations typically have their own PDC (Plan/Design/Construct) departments to manage this specialized process. School districts typically lack the internal resources to manage the bidding process relating to one or more technology systems that are part of a construction project.
Mismanagement of the procurement process wastes staff time and budgetary resources while usually delivering an inferior functional solution. It can also potentially disqualify a project from reimbursement.
The Solution
Based on our 20+ years of experience in systems design, Archi-Technology’s Technology Construction Bidding services help clients—especially school districts—that do not have the resources to gather all of the information required for bidding documents which are a part of a large complex construction project.
The Result
Accurate bidding documents delivered using an industry-standard process that allows clients to procure required technology systems at the best value.
The Deliverables
Unless otherwise specified, all deliverables will be provided by Archi-Technology to the district via the client’s ML Projects™ Construction Administration Software account:
