Requests for Septic Design Bids are Out

Today I sent requests for septic design bids to the two firms I want to hear back from. It's the first bid requests we've asked for on this project.

I feel a little guilty asking a firm to spend time writing up an estimate for me, knowing that I'll be saying no to one of them. I don't want to waste anyones time. But I guess that's the name of the game. Every book you read on the subject, and everyone you talk to about hiring contractors, tells you that you should always get three bids. How else are you going to know if you are getting a good price.

I think I have a lot to learn about this whole bidding process. This is a good place to start though. Hopefully it will be a smooth process.
