Scope Gap Detected
Sub A's bid excludes fixtures (~$30k value). Request clarification before award.
The $30,000 Mistake
A mid-size GC in Texas received three electrical bids for a retail project. After a quick review, they awarded the contract to Sub A—the lowest bidder at $245,000.
Two weeks into construction, the superintendent called: "Where are the light fixtures?"
Buried on page 12 of Sub A's proposal was a single line: "Excludes fixtures per spec section 26 51 00"
The real cost? $275,000—making Sub B's $287,500 bid actually $12,500 cheaper.
The Hidden Cost of Scope Gaps
With AltaSpecs: The scope gap would have been flagged before the PO was issued, saving the margin and the headache.
