The bidding documents are prepared by the design professional and the Facility during a project's construction documents phase and are assembled by the Facility.

The University uses many types of construction documents. The construction bidding documents are part of the overall construction documents. All construction document models contained in Volume 4: Construction Contracting, have been approved by the UCL.

Facilities are responsible for reviewing their own bidding documents, regardless of the estimated construction cost. However, proposed changes to the Instructions to Bidders and the General Conditions must be reviewed by UCOP and the UCL. Detailed review procedures are given in Volume 4: Construction Contracting.
