Contractor Guidance for Your Bid
Environmental and safety compliance is often overlooked by small contractors. If your proposal involves any hazardous materials, chemicals, electronics, or waste, account for disposal and compliance costs. Have your safety and environmental teams review the proposal—gaps here can trigger post-award compliance failures.
