what a healthcare MEP bid looks like

880 pages of drawings, specs, ICRA plans, and infection-control protocol.

Healthcare MEP bids are where vendor and AHJ requirements stack densely. ICRA classifications drive containment design; medical-gas continuity drives phasing; AHJ-specific infection-control protocols drive everything else. The bid set runs 880 pages — drawings (architectural, MEP, plumbing, fire protection), project manual, ICRA plan, infection-control specification, and two addenda that quietly redefine OR-3 corridor access.

BidLedger's pipeline runs in about 21 seconds against a bid this size. The verifier rejects roughly 15% of LLM-proposed claims — typically because the LLM tries to summarize an ICRA paragraph in plain language and the resulting paraphrase doesn't pass verbatim verification. Those rejected paraphrases are logged so you can see what the LLM was trying to say; only verifiable claims ship in the brief.

What makes healthcare bids worth running through this pipeline is the combination of compliance criticality and after-hours labor cost. A missed infection-control requirement can shut your work down; a missed phasing constraint can blow your labor budget on premium-time overtime. The brief surfaces 124 ranked findings across compliance, phasing, scope, and equipment; the takeoff prices the materials and the labor premiums together so your bid price reflects what the spec actually requires.

representative findings

Four findings the pipeline would surface — compliance and cost-ranked.

The quotes below mirror the kind of language hospital MEP bids actually use. Real findings would carry exact sheet/page citations and verifier confidence scores.

ICRA Class IV protocol applies to all work adjacent to OR-3

COMPLIANCE-CRITICAL
"ICRA Class IV protocol applies to all work in corridor adjacent to OR-3. Negative-pressure containment required during all demolition phases."
ICRA Plan · p. 18

Medical gas continuity — no interruption to occupied ORs

+$28,000 risk
"medical gas service to OR-1, OR-2, OR-4, OR-5 shall remain uninterrupted throughout construction. All shutdowns require 72-hour written notice and infection control sign-off."
M1.04 Phasing Plan · p. 7

After-hours work mandated — 10pm to 6am only on hospital nights

+$42,000 labor premium
"all loud, percussive, or vibratory work shall be performed between 22:00 and 06:00 daily. Daytime work limited to non-disturbance trades."
Specification 01 11 00 · p. 14

HEPA filtration required at all containment boundary penetrations

+$14,500 risk
"HEPA-filtered exhaust units (minimum MERV-17) required at all containment boundary penetrations. Daily filter monitoring and logging required."
Infection Control Spec · p. 6
what we ship

An 18-page brief, a 5-sheet takeoff, a JSON sidecar.

Healthcare bids produce thicker briefs because the compliance section alone runs 4–6 pages — ICRA class, infection control, AHJ inspection sign-offs, daily monitoring requirements. The takeoff workbook prices materials per-room, then rolls up by floor and OR suite; after-hours labor premiums get their own column so you can see them at a glance.

One detail BidLedger flags for healthcare bids specifically: medical-gas continuity windows. The spec almost always says “no interruption to occupied ORs.” The phasing section sometimes says “72-hour shutdowns permitted with infection control sign-off.” That conflict gets surfaced in the brief's “owner RFI” section instead of getting buried.
