SEND OUT PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL & HVAC bids

Once a walkthrough of a property of a PM with Jeff has been completed, the project manager/s of each property can start sending bids to our Plumbing, electrical and HVAC trade partners.

They now have the idea on what they need on each property and can identify code/s to choose when sending out the bids to the different related Trade partners.

Project managers can send bids to more than one Trade partner/s so they can have option on choosing the best service partner for their property. Sometimes, Jeff suggests a certain Trade partner to work with the property in order to achieve the kind of output of service they want to accomplish.

Once a bid is sent to a Trade partner, we normally wait who "Will bid", there we can communicate with them with our specific concern that they need to work onto. Below is an example of how a proper bid should flow in Coconstruct.

PLUMBING BID

Note: For Plumbing bid, make sure to include "install clean out" when sending a bid request.

HVAC BID

We always request a quote for central HVAC (with a heat pump) and for mini splits in a house when getting an HVAC bid.

These should be on the SAME bid request in CoConstruct. WE DO THIS SO WE CAN WEIGH OUR OPTIONS.

Mini Split Central Air Combo is an option for HVAC Installation with a budget of $9.5k”. It comprises of the items below;

Note: Make sure to send these details to the bidders when asking for a bid for the Mini Split Central Air Combo.

3. Equipment: Trane/Mitsubishi PAA-A18AA1 intelli-HEATTM CASED COIL, 14.5” WIDTH, 18,000 BTU/H or similar. If Mr. Cool makes a similar model, that is fine.

#### Second Floor

2. **Refrigerant Lines**: Routed from the single outdoor condensing unit to each mini-split unit.

Here is the product catalog for the products. However, other brands are acceptable, as they could save us considerable amounts of money.
