Purchasing Process <br />US Communities - The advantage of U.S. Communities to owners is <br />to avoid the time and expense of going through the competitive <br />process for each individual participating entity. Writing <br />specifications, evaluating bids, considering value engineering, and <br />dealing with the frustrations of low cost manufacturers that do not <br />perform can be a costly use their time. U.S. Communities allows <br />them to select a manufacturer and utilize competitively bid pricing <br />to make a true life cycle decision and quickly move to <br />procurement. U.S. Communities is currently processing orders <br />from over 67,000 participating entities. <br /> <br />Competitive Bid – This would require entering into an agreement <br />with an engineering firm to determine the size and types of <br />equipment needed for NBCC.
