Things to watch (4)
- Worth checking: Past performance outweighs price. A newer business with few similar completed construction jobs may lose even with a low price.
- Worth checking: The site visit was Oct 8, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
