Additional Post for Chapter 3

Additional Post for Chapter 3


   By reading this chapter, I learnt some tips when creating a winning proposal. A good proposal is a selling document; it is not a technical report.

    The contractor must understand what the customer is looking for and provide the greatest value to them. The project must be complete within budget and on schedule.

    For proposal preparation, we need to consider some factors of content. From technology perspective, understanding the problem is the first step, and then provides solutions to determine the client's benefits. If I cannot meet the specific needs of customers, propose alternative options should be set as an exception.

    The management part of the proposal includes the description of work tasks, deliverable, and project schedule with Gantt chart to track. Then describe how to organize the work with suitable resources and equipment to perform the project.  In addition, we have to calculate labor, raw materials, outsources, equipment, facilities, and human resource costs.

    After the submission of the application, the customer will be determined by evaluating the optimal choice with proposal evaluation scorecard.

    Under normal circumstances, There are two type of contract, fixed-price contracts is less risky, cost reimbursable contracts could fit slightly to riskier projects.
