Feel free to enter an email address in any of the fields - they're not restricted in what you can enter.
- The date of your proposal
- The name of the project and it's location
- The date and page number(s) of the plans and specs that you used to do your takeoff and bid
- A field to enter a company name or person's name or if you're bidding to several entities you could enter something like "Multiple".
A benefit of doing that when you're a subcontractor bidding to several general/direct contractors is that your regular GC's/DC's see that you don't just sit around on your laurels waiting for them to call you with work (kinda 'ups' your perceived value a bit). ;)- Your customer's phone and fax numbers as well as their address, city, state, and zip.
If you're bidding to multiple entities and you choose to keep the proposal form 'generic' (as mentioned in the 'Multiple' section above) then it may be easiest to leave the phone numbers, fax numbers, etc. blank.
If you decide to put each GC/DC's name on the proposal form then you'll fill in the rest of the fields with their phone/fax/address.
And then obviously if you're bidding to just one entity you'll enter their information.
There are no restrictions which makes it perfect for all trades.
