Bidding

The eBidDoc number is shown with each project in the Inspec project list on QuestCDN. Locate the project you are interested in, note its eBidDoc number, and use it to download the plans and specifications. If you cannot find the project, contact the Inspec office named in the advertisement for that work.

Yes. Printed sets are handled by Northstar Imaging. Call 651-686-0477, reference the project you need, and they will arrange the paper copies. Most bidders still download the electronic set as well, because addenda and notices are distributed to the plan holders list generated through the online plan room.

Submit questions in writing to Inspec during the bid period rather than to the building owner. If the answer changes or clarifies the documents, it is issued as a written addendum to every plan holder so all bidders price identical work. Verbal responses do not modify the contract documents and should not be relied on.

No. Inspec is a consulting engineering and architecture firm. We investigate conditions, design the repair or replacement, prepare the bidding documents and advise the owner. The construction is performed by the contractor selected through the bid process, which keeps the documents focused on the owner's requirements rather than any one contractor's methods.
