association work

[Jesse]

I get requests for proposals from home owners associations looking for various services. My proposal includes, among other things, an expiration date.

For those of you that do this kind of work, what time period do you allow for the customer to accept the proposal?

You need to give them at least 30 days, but 60 would be better. The board of directors needs to meet to accept any thing like a proposal. I always put a date down after talking to the person looking for the quote. He usually has at least a month (from his board) to get bids.
