The low bid is the most common applicable method in the contractor selection process, considering by only one dominant criterion. However, the lowest price criterion not allows selecting qualified, responsible, sophisticated, and knowledgeable contractor for cultural heritage projects. Moreover, the improper contractor selection may induce claims, litigation, and poor quality work, increased costs for project performance or management. Selection of appropriate contractor is very important for the success and excellent performance accomplishment of cultural heritage projects.
