The ScenarioCFMA Basic Construction Co., Inc. has received an invitation to bid on a project to build a 75,000 sq. foot office building in downtown Smallville.

The architect has already submitted plans and specs to the owner who has approved them. The owner has provided to all bidders a description of the building and a copy of the plans, the location of the building site, due dates, and how to obtain access to any other information the contractor might need.
