Flat fee, never a percentage. Your first bid: pay only if you submit it.

From the notice

This requirement is for construction services to increase the capacity of the emergency power system for the main hospital at the Providence, Rhode Island VA Medical Center.

Excerpt from the agency's notice. Read the full text and attachments on SAM.gov.

What you'll need to bid

  • The bid form. Construction jobs usually use the SF-1442: your company details, your price, the amendments you acknowledge, and a signature.
  • Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
  • Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
  • Prices that respect the wage rules. Federal construction over $2,000 pays at least the Davis-Bacon rates in the attached wage determination.
  • Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
  • Bonds if the job is large. Federal construction over $150,000 needs payment and performance bonds, and often a bid bond (SF-24).

Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
