Create Bid Scope Sections

Creating sections is not required, but doing so helps you further itemize the sections of the bid scope, clearly separating the different areas of scope; such as general conditions and other fees, base bid, and alternates. This makes it easier for bidders to submit their bids and having a standard format simplifies the process of reviewing bids as well.

This procedure is a continuation of adding items to bid scope templates.
