Build a clear invitation to bid

Start with a project summary in the form below. Include the project name and city, property type, requested electrical package, bid due date and your contact information. The team can then confirm fit, availability and how to transfer the complete drawing package.

• Current electrical and architectural drawings, specifications and all issued addenda.

• Bid instructions, drawing revision, scope sheets and requested pricing format.

• Equipment and fixture schedules, owner-furnished items and requested alternates.

• Site-walk information, access restrictions and existing-condition records.

• Construction start, rough-in milestones, phased handovers and completion targets.

Match the package to the project

Commercial projects: identify tenant improvements, occupied renovations or a new building. Clarify base-building versus tenant work, equipment connections, lighting and controls, shutdown windows and landlord requirements.

Apartments, townhomes and condos: provide building and unit counts, unit types and the release sequence. Separate dwelling-unit work from common areas, shared electrical equipment and site lighting. Identify occupancy, resident access and property-management responsibilities.

New construction: coordinate utility interfaces, underground routes, sleeves and trade handoffs with the current drawings. Flag decisions needed before concrete placement, framing or equipment procurement. See our new construction electrical guide.

Make proposals easier to compare

Use the same document set for every bidder. Ask each proposal to identify included work, exclusions, allowances, alternates and unresolved assumptions. Establish who is responsible for design, permits, utility coordination, inspections, testing and closeout documents.

When plans change, issue the revision and updated deadline together. Confirm whether revised pricing replaces the previous proposal and record any effect on equipment releases or construction sequencing.

Commercial project experience: Jungle Pilates

Texas project locations

Send commercial, multifamily and new-build electrical bid inquiries for Highland Park, Southlake, Denton County, Prosper, Aubrey and Celina. Include the project address, current drawing set, scope boundaries and bid deadline. We also review Dallas, Denton, Sherman and other North DFW opportunities; Austin and Houston packages are reviewed against project scale, schedule and mobilization needs. The Frisco office is the contact point; scope and availability are confirmed for each project.

Before you send the package

Are preliminary drawings useful? Yes. Identify the design stage, requested pricing purpose and unresolved selections. Preliminary pricing needs written assumptions and should be updated when the scope develops.

Does an inquiry reserve a bid or construction date? No. The team must confirm participation, scope and timing. Include your deadline so feasibility can be discussed at the start.

Can I send a secure plan-room link? Mention the plan room and access process in your inquiry. Coordinate access with the project team; do not enter passwords or confidential access codes in the public form.

Electrical bid scope: questions to resolve before pricing

A useful commercial electrical invitation identifies the drawing issue and the boundaries between trades. Separate demolition and make-safe work from new installation. Identify temporary power, existing circuits to remain, owner-furnished equipment, fixture packages and controls. Flag missing schedules or details as questions rather than assuming each bidder will interpret them the same way.

Tenant improvements and occupied buildings

Identify landlord and tenant responsibilities, access hours, shutdown approvals and the operations that must remain available. State whether ceiling access, firestopping, patching and painting belong in the electrical package or another trade. Include required site walks and a process for documenting existing conditions. Do not rely on a preliminary price as confirmation of concealed conditions.

Multifamily and phased construction

Provide building counts, unit types, common-area systems and the planned release sequence. Distinguish utility service, metering, dwelling-unit panels, shared equipment and site lighting. Identify resident notices, access coordination and turnover requirements where buildings remain occupied. Review our multifamily coordination guide for the property information to include.

Equipment releases and closeout

Ask bidders to identify long-lead equipment assumptions, substitutions requiring approval and the effect of late selections. Define submittals, applicable testing, circuit schedules, record documents, equipment manuals and warranty information in the agreed scope. Confirm who is responsible for design decisions, permit coordination, utility interfaces and required inspections.

For a focused improvement, review panel and service-upgrade planning. For wider packages, use new-construction planning, site electrical infrastructure and drawing and trade coordination. Our project process explains the steps from inquiry to an agreed scope.
