Before You Complete a Proposal Calculation Worksheet:
Step 1: You need to have already taken a linear foot measurement of the house foundation and garage foundation (as applicable).
Step 2: You need to have already taken a square foot measurement of the house slab and garage slab (as applicable).
Step 3: You need to understand what CFSIC will and will not pay for. To see a list of what we will and will not pay for, see items #5 and #6 here. With that list in mind, you should think about the allowable concrete work we will pay for, and what the linear and square foot costs you intend to charge for that work will be.
Step 4: Open the calculation worksheet (either non-Slab-on-Grade or Slab-on-Grade as is applicable) and insert your cost factors for the foundation and slab work (see Step 3 above). Please remember, you will be inserting your factors, not ours. Our maximum cost factors are shown on the worksheet to guide you. We cannot accept your proposal if your bid for the concrete work exceeds those maximums. For example, CFSIC’s maximum cost factor for a non-Slab-on-Grade linear per foot house measurement is $835. If you feel that you can do the job for less than that, insert your factor in the worksheet. If you think that the CFSIC factor is what you need to get, insert the CFSIC factor; if you insert a factor higher than $835, the adjuster will reject your proposal. (You will have competition...let that thought guide this process for you.)
As part of Step 4, pay close attention to the allowable concrete work listed at the end of the worksheet, and make certain that the cost factors you are using cover that work and that work only.
Step 5: Complete the worksheet and attach it to EITHER CFSIC’s applicable proposal template, once you have completed it, or to your own proposal template. (Please be sure to sign and date your worksheet before attaching it to your proposal.)
