For agency producers

Specs out. Bids back. Signed off.

The bidding loop on one thread: write the spec once, get vendor bids back on the real AICP form, level them to the cent, and send the client an approval that comes back version-stamped.

The path

The loop, in order.

  1. 01
    Bid Specs

    The spec goes out clean

    The AICP content spec with a working clause library — 50/50 domestic, 75/25 overseas, overages confirmed in writing — and the timeline block: bid due, award, PPM, air. Firm bid or cost-plus, stated on the spec.

  2. 02
    Bid

    Bids come back on the real form

    Vendors price the job on the 2023 AICP form, A–X, overtime columns included. Same letters, same line numbers — comparable by construction, not by cleanup.

  3. 03
    Estimator

    Level them to the cent

    Three vendor columns on one set of lines. Send to Estimator carries each bid across with the totals equal to the cent; the deltas read across a screen, not out of a stack of PDFs.

  4. 04
    Sign-off

    The client signs the version they saw

    Send the recommendation for approval. The decision comes back stamped with the exact version the client reviewed — no archaeology over which PDF got approved.

The killer demo

Three bids, levelled to the cent.

Each vendor's bid arrives on the same lettered lines it went out on. Send to Estimator carries it across with the total intact — to the cent, verifiable line by line — and the leveling board puts the three columns on one page. What you recommend is what the client signs, and the approval is stamped with the version they signed.

Printed estimate with three vendor bids levelled on one set of AICP lines
One set of lines, three vendors — the deltas read across.

Proof

Three things you can check.

01

Same form, every vendor

The spec frames the job once; the bids answer on the 2023 AICP form. No reformatting three vendors' spreadsheets at 11pm.

02

To the cent

The bid total and the estimate total match exactly through the handoff. Check any line — the arithmetic is the audit.

03

The approval has a version

Sign-off decisions come back stamped with the document version the client saw, filed with the estimate they approved.
