Scope Summary
A short, clear summary of work type (repair, replace, new install) and objectives so bidders immediately understand the project intent and can decide whether to pursue it.
A formal request reduces ambiguity, documents approvals, and creates an audit-ready trail for budgeting and insurance purposes.
The form is completed by people responsible for facility upkeep, purchasing, or event logistics before engaging contractors or spending capital.
Proper completion helps procurement, facilities, and governance stakeholders move from request to contract with fewer delays.
| Step | Responsible party | Output |
|---|---|
| Create request | Requestor submits form | Request record created |
| Technical review | Facilities reviews specs | Accept/clarify |
| Procurement approval | Finance approves budget | Purchase order ready |
| Bid and schedule | Contractors submit bids | Award and schedule |
A short, clear summary of work type (repair, replace, new install) and objectives so bidders immediately understand the project intent and can decide whether to pursue it.
Material type, thickness, underlayment, fastening method, tolerances, and manufacturer product codes to reduce scope variability during bid comparisons.
Loading access, hours permitted for work, noise or service restrictions, and any staging or storage limitations that will affect contractor logistics and pricing.
Identify required permits, historic preservation approvals, or code-specific constraints to ensure bidders price permit time and compliance work.
Include an estimated budget range or not-to-exceed amount if available to guide realistic contractor proposals and avoid time-consuming low bids.
List required internal approvals, insurance and bonding needs, and signature blocks to ensure procurement and facilities can finalize contracts promptly.
High-resolution images of the floor, transitions, thresholds, and access routes to clarify current conditions and potential obstructions.
Scaled drawings or annotated layout showing measurement points and areas to be worked on for accurate square-foot calculations.
Datasheets for the specified flooring and underlayment materials to validate warranties, slip ratings, and fire classifications.
Any preservation approvals, code memos, or permit application snapshots that will influence contractor approach and schedule.
Use industry-standard file types and integrations to simplify bidding, signing, and recordkeeping.
Standard formats and integrations reduce manual entry, enable auditing, and make attachments accessible to bidders and approvers.

A campus facilities manager documents scope and historic constraints to solicit three contractors for a preserved finish
Volunteer leaders submit a compact request with photos and a not-to-exceed budget to repair high-traffic zones
The Facilities Manager prepares the request, confirms measurements, and clears operational constraints. They coordinate reviews with procurement, schedule windows, and typically approve minor expenditures within delegated authority.
The Contractor responds with a bid and timeline, signs agreements or purchase orders, and provides insurance and lien waivers as required. Their signature binds them to scope and schedule terms.
