This virtual session is a part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development\u2019s DBE Supportive Services program.<\/p>\n<p>Construction firms understand that hard work has to happen before a single shovel ever hits the ground during the continuous construction-bid-proposal process. Submitting effective proposals and winning bids is at the heart of what contractors do and developing this as a core competency is critical to building a profitable and sustainable business.<\/p>\n<p>For general contractors, a bid-to-win rate of one out of six is standard, and many see less of a conversion rate. During this session, contractors will learn best practices for developing a competitive proposal, including: positioning the firm to move quickly on submitting bid proposals, creating a winning scope sheet, developing and offering a value proposition, and putting your plans into action.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, participants, will gain an understanding of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method which entails a commitment by the Construction Manager (CM) to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) which is based on the construction documents and specifications at the time of the GMP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facilitator:<\/strong> Frank Johnson, Director, Contractor\u2019s Resource Center, Urban League of Louisiana<\/p>\n<p>There is no cost to attend, however, registration is required.
