Our team managed the MARSHES planning, pre-construction, and construction start-up. We developed a unit item bid format to address the variety of unknown field conditions to minimize contractor risk and obtain the best possible pricing. We prepared an extensive package of background information as Information for Bidders, sharing boring and sampling logs, archeology reports, property ownership, and other data to help fully inform the bidders of existing conditions. We provided thorough documentation and representation.
