In the interest of fairness to the contractors, it is important not to ask for too much information as part of a proposal submission. For example, it is unreasonable to expect detailed drawings by all bidders, which would consume a lot of resources when only one will win the project.

Some other useful considerations for your specification (from years of lessons learned) include the following:

• Consult with manufacturers or additional systems experts, some of whom may have cost-effective solutions you may have not considered.

• For schedule control, consider liquidated damages on the project. My firm has been involved in projects that have dragged on way beyond everyone’s expectation because there was no leverage to get the installer to finish the job. When you start to introduce a penalty such as $250 per day for late delivery on an agreed upon schedule, you are likely to see different performance on schedule.

• Communicate to the bidders that construction site reviews will be executed to verify the workmanship and compliance with the specifications and drawings.

• Ensure that you set clear expectations for the training, including the preparation of a syllabus, provision of an appropriately qualified trainer (not a technician who may not be able to put the system’s use into a risk-based context), and provision of a proper training venue. This might include setting up some laptops or personal computers with the appropriate software so trainees can get hands-on experience.

• Clearly communicate the commissioning and closeout process.
