The Bid Proposal template is a five-page document for submitting a competitive bid on a defined piece of work. It includes a cover page, a bid summary with schedule, crew, and validity stat cards, a "why us" section, a three-phase scope from site prep through closeout, a price table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with signatures.
Open it in Bonsai and every line is editable — swap the phases and price rows for your trade, let merge fields fill in the client and date, and collect a signed acceptance without printing anything. Your saved version becomes the starting point for the next bid.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
Can I set a bid validity window? Yes — the summary includes a validity stat and the acceptance page states the expiry, so your pricing has a clear deadline.
