CPCCBC4013A: Prepare and Evaluate Tender Documentation

This assignment, designed for a Certificate IV in Building and Construction, assesses a student's ability to prepare and evaluate tender documentation. The assessment comprises two main parts. The first part requires the student, acting as an Assistant Construction Manager for RB Holdings, to review a company profile and a list of tender opportunities, select the most suitable contract, and report their findings using a company memo. The second part involves evaluating and reporting on tenders for the supply and placement of concrete for a specific project, including creating a Bidders Evaluation Sheet, formulating clarifying questions for contractors, and completing a transmittal form. The student is also expected to identify and report on potential risks associated with the contract. The assignment emphasizes the practical application of knowledge in interpreting project requirements and managing information effectively within the construction industry. The solution demonstrates the student's understanding of tender processes and their ability to make informed decisions based on provided documentation and scenarios.

Scenario:
Joe Lurgano, RB Holdings Construction Manager, has ask you to assist in selecting a contractor for the
supply, placement and finishing of concrete to the driveway of the 1 Lake Rd, Toronto project.
Joe has sent you the Transmittal Form and relevant documents to enable you to evaluate the tender
documentation. He has included the quotes received from various contractors, for the supply and
placement of the ready-mixed concrete. These quotes have been based on the bill of quantities
taken from the specification for that part of the project.
Part 2: Evaluate and report on tenders
2.1 You are to carefully examine the following RB Holdings documentation and respond as
instructed in line with their policy and procedures. In finalising your documentation you are to create
the ’Bidders Evaluation Sheet’ in an excel program and auto sum the appropriate columns.
2.2 In the space below formulate 3 questions that you may need to ask the contractors in order to
clarify their quotes. (Hint: You may like to address this after completing task 2.1).
The following are three questions which I have formulated to ask the contractors after creating the
Bidders Evaluation Sheet:
1. Why have you provided quotation for only placement work but left out the quotation for
the supply of ready-mixed concrete and yet it is an integral part of the tender?
2. How long will it take you to complete the project? You have not provided the timelines in
which you will work.
3. At how much will you supply ready-mixed concrete? Note that you have given quotation
for only placement work but left out supply.
4.

Additional Comments:
Risks to be evaluated
It would be difficult to judge the quality of ready-mixed concrete by just looking at it. There is
therefore the risk of a contractor exploiting this disadvantage by supplying poor quality ready

mixed concrete.
