I know the keyboard warrior answer to this but in real world, what's your strategy for dealing with formalities, half way through a project, that were not divulged before bidding a job. It seems like these PMs know that these little details will either turn away a vendor or increase the cost so they keep it to themselves and then minimize it when they break the news half way through a job.
Good example was posted the other day - Compliance Depot.
Our situation is that we bid a job with vague verbal specs, which is standard for us. Not much we do is critical. Today we got a casual mention that the job is for some nuclear project and regulated, they are going to audit our work on it so be prepared. In addition, they may do a facility inspection. I'm not keeping records of anything about this, as far as I knew, this was just like everything else we do.... and bid it as such. Were 25% through the project. It will probably be a nothing burger but my rub is that this was known upfront.
