This virtual session is a part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s DBE Supportive Services program. \nConstruction firms understand that hard work has to happen before a single shovel ever hits the ground during the continuous construction-bid-proposal process. Submitting effective proposals and winning bids is at the heart of what contractors do and developing this as a core competency is critical to building a profitable and sustainable business. \nFor general contractors\, a bid-to-win rate of one out of six is standard\, and many see less of a conversion rate. During this session\, contractors will learn best practices for developing a competitive proposal\, including: positioning the firm to move quickly on submitting bid proposals\, creating a winning scope sheet\, developing and offering a value proposition\, and putting your plans into action. \nIn addition\, participants\, will gain an understanding of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method which entails a commitment by the Construction Manager (CM) to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) which is based on the construction documents and specifications at the time of the GMP. \nFacilitator: Frank Johnson\, Director\, Contractor’s Resource Center\, Urban League of Louisiana \nThere is no cost to attend\, however\, registration is required.
