bid-evaluator

What problem does it solve?

Construction project teams manually comparing subcontractor bids against project specifications and drawings waste hours on error-prone scope gap checks, exclusion risk assessment, and price normalization, leading to missed scope items, uncalculated cost exposure, and delayed award decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scope Gap Analysis: Automatically maps each bidder's submission against project specs and drawing-derived scope items to flag missing, excluded, or partial coverage.
• Exclusion Risk Scoring: Ranks exclusions by criticality (critical, significant, minor) with estimated cost impact to quantify financial exposure.
• Award Recommendation: Generates a ranked bidder list with adjusted pricing, qualification assessments, and PE/PM attention items to speed up data-backed award decisions.
• Real-World Use Case: For a K-12 school renovation with 3 flooring subcontractor bids, use this skill to identify the bidder that missed $85K in ceramic tile scope, normalize adjusted bid totals, and produce a 5-sheet Excel evaluation workbook for the project team.

Quick Start

Use the bid-evaluator skill to analyze the tabulated subcontractor bids for the Holabird Academy Division 09 finishes scope and generate a formatted award recommendation workbook.
