“Quote your lowest geomembrane price” does not define a comparable supply. A technical review first identifies the application, failure consequences, material function and acceptance basis, then confirms quantity, packing and schedule.
Project action list
What the procurement or project team should do next

Attach the technical schedule or specification
State the quantity basis and permitted variation
Provide destination, Incoterm and required delivery date
Technical conditions define the product
Provide application, subgrade, slope, contained liquid or loading, design life, cover system and governing documents. Drawings and written clauses are preferable to verbal summaries.
Define how quantities were calculated
Net area, purchase area and roll quantity are different. State whether overlaps, anchors, trimming, contingency and whole-roll rounding are included.
Delivery conditions affect landed cost
Destination, Incoterm, container type, unloading limits and required arrival date affect packing, booking and production planning.
