The bid / proposal package strategy shall be reviewed with the Owner and Designer on a regular basis and revised throughout the buyout of the Project in order to best promote the interests of the Project and Owner. The XXXX contractor shall provide an analysis of the types and quantities of labor required for the Project and review the appropriate categories of labor required for critical phases or stages and make recommendations that minimize the adverse effects of labor shortages.
