1.Introduction:1.1 General:The project often get delayed and show time and cost overruns as a consequence. The
importance of bidding document, good biding process and the selection of contractor are
some of the important prerequisites for the successful completion of a project. The aim of the
study was to identify factors in bid process management that may lead to project success.
Subsequently, these factors were ranked by expert for their importance and ability to
influence the project results. To brainstorming sessions were organized for identifying
factors, One with a government organization which executes a large number of public
projects mainly through cost based selection and second with a private developer
organization which hires contractor through quality based selection process. Twelve factor
were shortlisted through this process and they were given importance ranking were
experienced professionals. The mean value and the descriptive statistics were worked out to
rank the factors. Top five factors in the bidding process, identified by using this process are
specification , special condition are contract, overall and similar experience, award criteria
and estimates.
Government officials in the developing countries face public ire for delay in project
execution and resultant cost increase. Delay and cost overruns occur in private projects also,
though the consequences of delay are different. Top five factors featured in the list are
insufficient equipment, inaccurate time estimate, payment to the contractors, change orders,
and inaccurate cost estimate. Many factors influence failure and success of a project and
contractor selection is one of the prominent reasons amongst that.The importance of selecting
right contractor and having proper bid documents is recognized by the industry and also by
the researchers. Standard bidding documents have been developed by the owners all over the
world or they have adopted standard documents developed by world Bank, Asian
Development Banks, FIDIC and others. However, in the developing countries, bidding
documents and procedures are yet to be standardized. Even where the process has been
standardized, the weightage of different selection criteria is a matter of debate.
Contractors must consider many factors when they develop their bidding strategies.
Bought on found in his survey (with useable responses from 126 general construction
contractors from around the Words) that the factors in developing a bidding strategy
(in descending order of importance to the contractors) are:
Owners Consultants
Activity Consultants
Piece-meal Constructions
EPC/Turnkey
BOT/BOOT/BOO etc
Objective
1) To study concept of bidding of construction project.
2) To contractor selection vary between Public and Private projects.
3) To Analysis the data Educational profile and Work experience on the basis of their
organizations.
4) To study the bid process management on various present construction sites.
5) To discuss and give the effective suggestion on projects often get delayed and increase the
cost.
Methodology
1) The preliminary data which required for the project will be collect from the various
studies which are already carried out upon this construction bidding. Referring to
previous research, this study identified by public and private project of project
finalization. Efficient bidding is the most important term in project finalization process.
2) To brainstorming sessions were organized for identifying factors, One with a
From the above overall study there are twelve factors were shortlisted through this
process and they were given importance ranking by experienced professionals, for
project finalization.

4) The whole bid process management study applies on live construction private or
government projects. And what are the actual bidding on live work and theoretical
studies. On the live project on bidding process questionnaire survey should be carried
out.
5) In the last step of the project, the analysis carry out on the above theoretical study and
the questionnaire survey, the suggestion if any given to the management team. As the
management can better understand and improve the bidding process management by
selection of contractor, education profile, work experience, count and ranking were
calculated by data analysis.

ORGANIZATION OF PROJECT
The thesis format follows the logical steps of literature review, establishing the
questionnaires, developing the methodology, gathering and analyzing data and
drawing conclusions. The project stage-I involves following chapters:
1) The second chapter deals with the literature survey related to the construction
bidding in private and public project in construction industry. This review determined
the context of the research study and positioned this work relative to previous
research. This chapter will help to selection of contractor on the basic of prequalification and many previous skills and knowledge.
2) The third chapter deals with to study bid process management for finalization of
construction project.This chapter will provide total information about the role of
coordination in construction industry in India and effect of goal achievement on
performance of project.
3) The fourth chapter deals with the success of project finalization for construction
project. In this chapter the questionnaire was designed on the basis of bid process
management. The questionnaires are designed on the basis of eight coordination
methods.
The data collection will be obtained from the designed questionnaire. For this data
collection of two major construction projects were selected. The observed result is
tabulated and thereafter the result analysis is carried out. The last step of the project is
to give suggestion for successful bid process management for project finalization.

Bidding Process

of
The objective of the contractor selection vary between public and private projects.
While in the private projects, the long term relationship with the contractor is considered in
selection, It is consider to be in appropriate in public project (Cheng, 2004). In public project
generally lowest bidder is selected with or without negotiation whereas in private projects
contracts is possible with other than lowest bidder or sometimes even at lowest bidder price.
Contract Packaging
Bid process must consider single prime contractor versus multiple prime contractors
when contract packaging decision are made. Slicing or packaging is also important for the
project performance and costs Bid cost go upward when there are multiple prime contractors.
In also results in higher claims and poor quality (Monti, 1997). A study carried out by
Holland revealed that the contractors add 6% on the cost perform by the lower tier contractor.
Multiple prime contractors also tend to decrease the competition and as result bid prices go
up. This is in addition to the increase administrative costs (Rojas,2008). The coordination
with multiple prime contractors becomes another challenge, observed Rojas. How ever ,the
statistical analysis of over 1000 projects with multiple prime contractors results in lower bid
price and hence overall lower costs (Rojas,2008).
Bidding document
Bid documents become part and parcel of the contract with successful bidder .Bid
document contains instruction for bidders condition of contracts , selection procedure ,
section bills of quantity and financial bid form , contract and guarantee formats .The success
of the contract lies in the effective bid documents. A vague document having poorly drafted
conditions of contract , open ended specifications and incorrect quantities may lead to change
orders , conflicts and claims. Developing countries show a problem of standardized bidding
documents. For a country like India, barring Public work Departments (PWD),the documents
lack standardization. The results are visible in terms of disputes, discrepancies an delays.
Funding agencies such as World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) insist on using
their standardize or approved documents, where the procurement process is somewhat better.
Pre-qualification
Some clients prefer maintaining a list of pre qualified bidders. The process is
generally known as pre qualification of contractors. This is quite popular in private
organizations where they are concerned with the top quality. In government organizations,
when there are mini projects with the same departments and that too on a regular basis, the
maintain the list of prequalified bidders. The shortlisted bidders are generally asked to submit
financial bid for the given project. This reduces the time of technical evaluation.
