Entering Lump Sum Bids

To enter a lump sum bid, click on the + Add Subcontractor at the top of the Bid Package Matrix. Add the subcontractor to the Bid Package Matrix. If you are using SmartBid or BuildingConnected, you will be selecting a subcontractor from the list of subcontractors for the corresponding bid package in SmartBid or BuildingConnected. For more information about BidMatrix integration with SmartBid and BuildingConnected, go to Integrations / SmartBid and Integrations / BuildingConnected. If you are using a local BidMatrix subcontractor database, you will be adding your subcontractor from that database. Next, enter the lump sum bid in the Total cell for that subcontractor. After entering the total, an empty check box will display in all the bid package phases. Check the box for each bid package phase that is covered by the lump sum bid.
