It provides Taiyuan City with various information releases, bidding notices, bidding, winning bids, projects, procurement, etc. Information serves the bidding portal of Taiyuan City. Taiyuan Bidding Network actively performs the corresponding duties of the Provincial Bidding Network (Shanxi Bidding Network) and maintains the order of various engineering procurement project activities.

A brief analysis of the application of bill of quantities quotation in Taiyuan City Construction Project Tendering and Bidding Information Network:

Bill of Quantities (B.o.Q bill) quotation is commonly used internationally. The project bidding and quotation method has mature rules and management systems and a history of hundreds of years of application. With my country's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the successive introduction and implementation of relevant policies and norms, it is imperative to fully implement bill of quantities quotation for construction projects.

The bill of quantities in our country means that when bidding for a construction project, the construction enterprise bidder shall use unified engineering quantity calculation rules and unified project divisions based on the project construction drawings and the requirements of the bidding documents. The bidding documents will include a list of the physical quantities and technical measures of the construction projects to be bid in unified units of measurement. Compared with traditional quotation based on fixed quotas, list quotation has the following advantages:

First, it is simple and clear, which avoids the duplication of work and the resulting differences in the calculation of project quantities by each bidding unit;

The second is to change the current static pricing model based on budget quotas into a dynamic pricing model that takes various factors into account in the full cost unit price;

The third is to use the bill of quantities to quote "quantity, price" "The principle of separation" is conducive to the reasonable sharing of risks and clarifying the responsibilities of both parties to the contract;

The fourth is to adopt the bill of quantities quotation model. The contractor does not need to prepare a base bid, which dilutes the role of the base bid. From a procedural point of view, Standardizes the bidding operation and construction market order;

The author has participated in the bidding of many projects at home and abroad that use the bill of quantities for quotation. On the occasion that the country is about to promote the quotation of the bill of quantities, the entire The experiences and feelings of the quotation and decision-making process are summarized for everyone's reference and exchange.

The bill of quantities quotation process is usually divided into the following steps:

Set up a reasonable quotation team - an experienced quotation team will be able to quote a reasonable price and increase the bid winning rate is crucial.

The ideal quotation team usually consists of the following personnel:

1. Personnel with similar project experience and intends to serve as the project manager of the bidding project;

2. Senior Cost engineer;

3. Materials engineer, mechanical and electrical engineer familiar with the local market;

4. Financial person in charge, etc.

Companies that meet the conditions can form two teams to make independent quotations, and finally take the average as the basis for external quotations. The author's company once formed a JV company with South Korea's LG Engineering Company to jointly bid for the office building project of the Ministry of Petroleum of a certain country in the Middle East. It adopted the method of comprehensive summarization of independent quotations and finally won the bid.

Carefully analyze the quotation description, specifications and list, and review and calculate the quantity of the project in question - the quotation description, adopted specifications and list notes are important parts of the bidding documents and should be read carefully and understood thoroughly. In this way, when quoting, you can clearly understand the work content included in the project quantities listed in the list, and avoid missing items or misunderstandings. For example, in the above-mentioned Ministry of Petroleum Office Building project, the entire building was divided into 8 bidding sections for separate bidding. The pile foundation for the first section was completed by a local company. In the quotation list provided by the owner for the main structure of our bid, there was no separate sub-item of broken pile head and pile connection. After carefully reading the bid document, we found that this work was included in the foundation floor concrete construction content. We later appropriately increased this amount in the quotation. The unit price of each item covers the cost of breaking the pile head. When there are major errors in the quantities of work provided on the bill, it can usually be discovered by an experienced project manager or cost engineer. This requires a review of the engineering quantities. The methods of review include the technical and economic index method, the review method of the relationship between relevant engineering quantities, etc., which will not be described here.

On-site inspection and Q&A - If the bidding document is unclear or there is a deviation in understanding, you should take the initiative to go to the site to inspect it, or ask questions to the bidding party and ask for a clear answer. Taking the above project as an example, in the second section of the bid we won, which is the main structure part, a precipitation cost was listed on the list, requiring a fixed price to cover it. Because the cost involves comprehensive factors such as the precipitation measures adopted, the construction period of the foundation and the flow of groundwater, and because the project is located on the seaside, the tenderer cannot estimate the exact amount of the cost. After many on-site inspections and a large amount of information, we designed reasonable precipitation measures and accurately quoted the price, creating favorable conditions for winning the bid.

Split the list, search for prices from multiple parties, and let professional subcontractors quote for professional projects - material prices and labor account for an important proportion of the total cost. We divided the list appropriately before bidding for the above projects, and asked material suppliers, labor service companies, and professional subcontractors such as waterproofing and painting to make quotations and initial agreements respectively. We summarized these prices and took into account management expenses, profit taxes, and so on. We will calculate our quotation later. This has the following two advantages: first, you can find reputable professional subcontractors; second, the subcontract prices are reasonable.

Pay attention to quotation strategies and techniques - after the above work is completed, a certain quotation strategy is usually used when determining the unit price of each sub-item, which can not only increase the probability of winning the bid, but also facilitate the smooth progress of the project after winning the bid. The common implementation methods are as follows:

Unbalanced quotation method: After the total bidding price of a project is determined, the quotations of each internal project can be appropriately adjusted without affecting the winning bid, such as: The unit prices of mobilization fees, earthwork, foundation and other items paid in the early stage can be appropriately set high, and the unit prices of later masonry, plastering and other items can be appropriately lowered. This is conducive to early recovery and turnover of funds; for projects that can be completed and are expected to increase the amount of work in the future, the unit price can be appropriately increased, while for projects that may reduce the amount of work, the unit price can be lowered. The author once submitted a bid for a villa group residential project in a certain country. The bidding document stipulated that the work quantity of the underground structure can be adjusted. After checking on site that the foundation was poor, it was estimated that the amount of concrete would increase. The author appropriately increased the unit price of the concrete for the foundation part, and the final settlement was calculated after the completion of the project. It is quite profitable; for projects that are a fixed amount and will definitely occur, the unit price can be increased. This will not affect the total bid price and can be recovered in time in the future, such as the precipitation costs in the above projects; for the tentative amount ( (or project), analyze that if it is likely to be done in the future, the price can be set appropriately high; if it is not expected to be done, the price can be set lower; in terms of timing, it can generally be set appropriately higher, because it is not included in the total price, and it is calculated according to the time when it occurs. Real calculation.

Final review of quotations - According to regulations, the list quotation must be filled in manually on the quotation list provided by the tenderer. For a complex project, the list may be hundreds or even thousands of pages, and it is easy to make mistakes if it is filled in and counted completely by hand. The author’s experience is that it is very practical to summarize the list and enter it into the computer, and use software for review.

The use of bill of quantities quotation is an important measure in the reform of project cost management. Through the reform, quota pricing will be transformed into orderly market competition to form prices. Price level is a concentrated reflection of an enterprise's management level, technological level, and equipment level. Through market-oriented orderly competition, the comprehensive level and competitiveness of construction enterprises will be continuously improved, and the survival of the fittest will be achieved, thereby ultimately forming a socialist construction market order with standardized management and orderly competition.
