👥 Who it’s for: Estimators, Chief Estimators, Bid Coordinators
🗓 When to use it: Bid day, as bids arrive
On bid day there's no time to read every proposal line by line. Did the sub acknowledge Addendum 3? Price the alternates? Include the bid form? Muro checks every bid against the bid requirements and tells you what's missing, so you can chase it before the deadline.

Tips & best practices
✅ Run it as bids come in, not all at once at the end. You'll have time to chase what's missing.
💡 Add every addendum. Muro can only check acknowledgments for the addenda it has.
💡 Add your scoping sheet to catch exclusions against your scope, not just against the bid form.
🔒 You stay in control. Muro shows a preview of every email and waits for your approval before sending. See Your data, security & approvals.
Good to know
Muro reads proposals in PDF. Scanned or handwritten bids may need a check.
Muro flags what's missing. Your team decides whether a bid can be used.
