MANUSCRIPT
**Scripted Explanation for Client**
Hello Miss Jennylen! I'd like to take a moment to explain the process of bidding and
negotiation, as well as the construction phase, which is a critical part of our collaboration.
In this phase, we, as your architect, will prepare the necessary documents for the bidding or
negotiation process. This includes forms for contract letting, construction documents, and
bidder proposals, among others. We will also assist you in establishing a list of prospective
contractors and awarding the construction contract.
For competitive bids, we will furnish complete sets of bid documents to ensure a successful
bidding process. These documents are the intellectual property of our firm, and we will require
them to be returned by all entities acquiring them. A bond may be required to assure their
return.
We will also help in organizing and conducting pre-bid conferences, respond to questions from
bidders, and assist you in obtaining proposals from contractors. We will analyze the bid results,
prepare an abstract of bids, notice of award, and other construction contracts.
For negotiated contracts, we will perform similar functions but negotiate with one contractor
instead of multiple bidders.
**Construction Phase**
In this phase, we will be responsible for making decisions on all claims related to the execution
and progress of work or the interpretation of the contract documents. We will also prepare
change orders and gather written guarantees from contractors and subcontractors.
We will make periodic visits to the project site to ensure that the work is progressing in
accordance with the contract documents. However, please note that we are not required to
provide continuous 8-hour on-site supervision to check on the quality of work involved. During
these visits, we will report any defects or deficiencies noted in the work of contractors and
condemn work found failing to conform to the contract documents.
We will determine the amount owing and due to the contractor and issue corresponding
certificates for payment based on our observations and the contractor's applications for
payment. We will also conduct necessary inspections to determine the date of substantial and
final completion and issue the final certificate of payment.
If more extensive inspection or full-time construction supervision is required by you, we will hire
a separate full-time supervisor and agree upon their services and fees separately in
conformance with the applicable SPP document.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the process better. If you have any questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
