Our proposal has some clear
advantages
You will be informed of the specifics of the scopes of work, a schedule
of values, a schedule of events, and a plan.
Proposals are detailed offers that are more comprehensive
than bids, estimates, and quotes, are incredibly beneficial for complex
projects, and are an absolute requirement by state laws to guide the settlement
of an insurance claim and specific performance.
A proposal is a
preparation of a comprehensive plan and agreement to settle predicted issues
saving time and anguish to complete the work.

The frequently asked
questions when discussing project proposals:
1)
Question: How many men do you employ?
Answer: That
depends on our work load, backlog, and contracts we have at the time of the
inquiry.
Most of our employees are casual labor and Gig labor
assigned-pledged to a particular client or project.
We maintain a fabrication shop and mobile
resources for spot market maintenance and construction.
2)
Question: What is your service area?
Answer: All of
the lower 48-states
3) Question: What is a casual labor employee?
Answer: Casual labor refers to part-time or
temporary workers who fill an immediate need for an employer and are not part
of the regular staff. This is most
popular market demand behavior of today’s buyers and sellers.
4)
Question: What is the Gig Economy?
Answer: A labor market
characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as
opposed to permanent jobs.
"Working in the gig economy means constantly being
subjected to last-minute scheduling" but the benefits are outstanding
compared to a steady job.
5)
Question: Where did
all the skilled labor go and why do we have a labor shortage?
Answer: They followed the money to the spot market
service sector seeking performance pay and a better life style.
6) Question: What’s Next for the Skilled Labor Shortage?
Answer: More dependency on supervisors that are able
and willing to supervise low wage casual workers. The price driven construction
and maintenance market directive provisions limited investment to on-site job
training of simple tanks.
7) Question. What is
the relevance of “price driven” versus “performance driven”?
Answer: Price-driven is
lowest cost constraint.
Performance-driven
is the highest cost constraint.
8) Question: What is third party indemnity?
Answer: Financial
responsibly for the law suits of workmen and the public.
9) Question: Are third party liabilities an insurable
risk?
Answer: Yes, to a limit within public policy, the state
anti-indemnity statutes, and the Texas standard market insurance forms.
You can insure the world if you are willing to pay for it.
We provide standard market
Texas standard Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability
insurance that protects us as the owner of the insurance policy and the primary
insured, and our clients as the additional insured. The insurance policy includes
over 30 additional insureds endorsements options, that include well defined claim
triggers and claim limits in compliance with public policy.
Anyone can purchase special
market third-party liability insurance coverages. Special market insurance
coverage is hard to get, requiring extensive applications and background checks
of all insureds, huge pre-payments, hard security terms and conditions that specifies
limited and well-defined claim triggers and limits to hold harmless, indemnify
and insure the public against their own acts of willful negligence under
conditions not compliant with public policy and state Anti-Indemnity statues.
You can review our
current insurance coverage, the ISO insurance form CG 00 01 04 13, current
insurance declarations, and a schedule of endorsements-exclusions definitions
at www.millwrightsites.com/indemnity
10) Question:
What makes “risk” a big issue?
Answer: Risk is a differentiator.
Uninsurable risks and losses are not separable
and will change and eliminate a service provider’s business prospects.
A typical corporate crafted contract transfers extraordinary
risks beyond the point of diminishing return of an investment.
The transfer of risks provisions of a client’s contract
is the “deal-breaker” most of the time.
We have done a lot and have seen a lot and we
have incurred losses that were not our fault only because it was a contractual
agreement to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the negligent acts of others
not commissioned by us.
NOTE: Contracting is about contracts.
We will not take on any project that has an
inherent risk that exceeds 1/3 of the invoice-contract value or exceeds $100,000,
whichever comes first. Uninsurable
risks, work safety hazards, environmental hazards, poor communication with stakeholders,
poor documentation, negative cash flow, project delays, aging accounts receivables
are some of the outstanding parts of the risk computation.
11)
Question: Why are quotation-proposal terms and
conditions so important?
Answer: It is the key-way to protect a business and
ensure its professionalism, as well as mitigating risks and to make sure
parties to an agreement know what their obligations and responsibilities are.
We base the costing of a proposal on our terms
and conditions if not instructed differently.
The terms and conditions of our proposal can be
examined at www.millwrightsites.com/proposal/proposal.pdf
Our markup of a AIA
Sub-Contractor contract form can be examined at www.millwrightsites.com/proposal/AIA
401_2017
12)
Question: What
is public policy?
Answer: Public policy is a course of action
created and/or enacted, typically by a government, in response to public,
real-world problems defined by state and federal constitutions and the
president of civil law.
13) Question: What is the largest job you completed?
Answer: $7,000,000 Shredder project for CMC Steel
TX.
We placed over 10,000
cubic yards over a 12-month period, installed underground piping, and installed
process equipment.
14)
Question: Can you provide a payment and performance
bonding of contracts?
Answer:
Yes,
we can, but our decision will depend on the risk-rewards of the agreement we
make.
15) Question:
ISN first? <> Browse first? <> PICS first? <> Other procurement
managers first?
You need to complete out
contractor’s qualification form first?
Answer: Nothing comes before the core prospect of a
sale. The opportunities are not big
enough to justify the investments when the probabilities are still low at such
an early stage in the sales process.
We are judicious
about investing time and resources in efforts that have a history of unproductive
results. We will do what is necessary when
we see the customary positive signs of business progress that will encourage us
to proceed.
We don’t want to
waste the effort if it turns out that we were never a serious candidate for your
business.
16) Question:
Do you have a safety program?
Answer: Yes, we have a safety program that includes technical
instructions of proven methods, job site practice drills, and class room
training. You can examine our safety
programs and training materials at www.millwrightsites.com/safety
17) Question:
Do you carry Commercial General Liability Insurance?
Answer: Yes <> We carry the following CGL

What is a Millwright?
A millwright
is a high-precision craftsman or tradesman who
installs, dismantles, repairs, reassembles, and moves machinery in factories,
power plants, and construction sites.
As the name suggests, the original function of a millwright was the
construction of flour mills, sawmills, paper mills and fulling mills powered by water or wind, mostly of wood
with a limited number of metal parts. Since
both of these structures originated from antiquity, millwrighting could be considered,
arguably, as one of the oldest engineering trades and the forerunner of the
modern mechanical engineer.

The Shot
Crete application method has been utilized for more than 95 years with some outstanding achievements in tunnels.
the American Concrete Institute committee 506 was
organized in 1942 to cover shot Crete standards for the USA. Shot Crete is a proven
method used to repair concrete, to build tanks, to seal tunnels and aqua ducts,
to shore deep vertical excavations, for domed roofs and to build difficult
shaped structures. Shot Crete walls combined with earth screw anchors
build superior retaining walls.
