Getting Bids (the 1-3-1)

For non-standard or out-of-range items, follow the 1-3-1 process:

• 1 — Problem clearly defined. Outline the scope, include photos, and put all necessary details in AppFolio.
• 3 — Three vendor bids. Obtain bids from three qualified, pre-vetted vendors.
• 1 — One recommendation. Select the best bid based on value, speed, quality, and the owner's best interest.

Submit for approval. Present all solicited bids and your clear recommendation. Routing follows the approval thresholds: above $500 goes to the manager (Norman/Brian); above $5,000 goes to the owner.

Same shape as a NOVA case

This is a 1-3-1 — the three bids are your three options, and your pick is the recommendation.
