What to know before you bid

Davis-Bacon wage rates

Construction contracts over $2,000 fall under the Davis-Bacon Act: you must pay at least the prevailing wages in the contract's wage determination, published on SAM.gov.

Go to the site visit

Roofing solicitations often hold a site visit and list square footage, roof types and materials. Read every amendment, because answers to bidders' questions can change the scope.

Line up bonding early

Larger federal construction contracts require performance and payment bonds under the Miller Act. Talk to a surety before you bid on bigger roof replacements.
