Proposals get an Exhibit A, and you write scope right on the page

A proposal with three packages and fourteen qualifications used to spill onto a second page that nobody turned to. Now page one holds the deal, and the detail has its own page.

• Page one is the deal. Who it's for, the scope and the price. Its footer says Exhibit A is attached and part of the offer.
• Exhibit A: Specifications & Qualifications. It opens with a Specification Compliance table: each spec section you marked on the Spec Coverage checklist, shown as Included or Excluded. Your inclusions and exclusions follow, side by side.
• Frozen when you send it. While the proposal is a draft, the spec table follows your checklist. Once it leaves Draft the table is locked, so a bid you've sent can't change under the GC. Set it back to Draft to unlock it.
• Every page is numbered. Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2, so nobody misses the back half.
• Write scope on the page. Click Scope of Work or Addenda in the document to edit them where they print. Scope of Work takes bold, italic, bullets, numbered lists and headings, and a cheat sheet shows up while you type.
