A Common Scenario

“A masonry contractor bid a $320K restoration project on a historic county building. The bid package required a sample submittal and pre-approved masonry repair product, submitted two weeks before bid opening. The contractor didn't see the pre-bid submittal requirement and submitted a bid that was disqualified before opening.”

This is the kind of issue BidFastApp.com catches before you submit, documented, page-cited, and explained in plain English.

What We Check for Masonry Bids

Common compliance gaps in Masonry bid packages

Public bid packages for masonry work often contain requirements buried across dozens of pages. Here's what we flag most often.

Pre-Bid Material and Sample Submittals

Historic masonry and restoration projects frequently require product samples, color samples, or mock-up approvals weeks before bid opening. We flag pre-bid submittal deadlines so you have time to comply before the submission date.

Prevailing Wage for Masonry Trades

Bricklayer, Mason, Tile Setter, and Marble Mason are covered under Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage determinations. We identify applicable wage determinations and flag the classifications relevant to your scope.

Bid Bond and Surety Requirements

Public masonry contracts above threshold amounts require bid security. We identify required bid bond amounts, acceptable surety formats, and whether a certified check is acceptable as an alternative.

Historic Preservation and Secretary of Standards Compliance

Government-owned historic buildings often require compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. We flag historic preservation compliance language that may affect product selection, methods, and documentation.

Insurance Minimums and Endorsements

Masonry work on public buildings requires standard general liability, auto, and workers' comp minimums, plus umbrella coverage in many cases. We compare your COI against the bid package's stated requirements.

MBE/WBE/DBE Participation Goals

Publicly funded masonry projects, especially for municipal buildings and schools, often carry minority business participation goals. We identify the goal, required forms, and documentation deadlines.
