The civil engineer usually carries the major load of the work during the bidding phase of an infrastructure project. State laws govern most of what must be done, and at times local ordinances or practices result in added restrictions. The work must take place within the framework of those regulations. At the same time, the desire to obtain good bid prices from qualified contractors will also govern the engineer’s activities during the bid phase. At times the engineer must instruct the owner in the rules of public bidding.

The civil engineer’s job during the bid phase may be summarized as: Help the owner find the best contractor for the project at the best possible price. This normally means having a good number of bidders (to keep prices competitive), but not having those bidders believed to be unqualified to do the work. It’s a difficult line to walk.
