Bidding for government construction contracts

On behalf of Kaplin Stewart Meloff Reiter & Stein, P.C. posted in Construction on Oct 1, 2015.

One of the types of contracts a construction company will sometimes try to secure is a government contract. There are a wide range of different building projects that federal and local governments award contracts for.

The process of awarding a government construction contract can be remarkably complex. Generally, bid processes are used for the awarding of such contracts. 

It is not uncommon for construction company owners to feel a fair amount of apprehension when in a bidding process for a government contract. Given how large such contracts can be, a lot can be at stake during the bidding process. A construction company owner may be worried about making mistakes during the bidding process that could endanger their ability to win the bid or create legal problems for their company. Given the complexity of the government construction contract bidding process, there are multiple pitfalls a company could fall prey to without the right guidance.
