What is a supplementary document often included with Bid Forms?

A supplementary document commonly included with bid forms is the subcontractor list. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the subcontractors that the primary contractor intends to use in the project. It is significant for the owner or the selecting committee to review the qualifications and experience of these subcontractors as part of the overall bid evaluation process. Having this list allows the owner to understand who will be performing key parts of the work, ensuring that those involved are capable and reliable.

In contrast, the agreement between the owner and contractor typically comes into play after the bidding process is complete and is a formal contract outlining the terms of the project. The construction change directive and specifications, while important documents in the construction process, are generally not included with the initial bid forms. The specifications detail specific project requirements and standards but are more descriptive rather than a list of proposed subcontractors.
