Glazing and storefront scope checklist for bid levelling

Engineering, sealant and interior glass are the lines most often missing.

The scope lines

Ask every bidder to say, for each line, whether it is priced, included, or excluded. A line a bid never mentions is the one that turns into a change order.

  5. 5Mirrors

Where glazing and storefront bids differ

The gaps worth a written answer from every bidder before award.

  • Engineering and shop drawings excluded from storefront and curtain wall bids.
  • Interior glass, relites and mirrors carried by the glazier on some bids and by nobody on others.
  • Perimeter sealant assumed to be the waterproofing sub's.
  • Field water testing excluded, or limited to one test.
