RFI Log & Request Form

CA$19

Prices in Canadian dollars. Any tax that applies is shown at checkout.

An RFI log in Excel that works out the due date, status and days overdue for up to 100 requests for information, prints a one-page request form under your company name, and comes with an editable Word form.

Log each request for information as you send it: number, date sent, subject, question, who it is from and who it is to, and a required-by date if it needs one. The workbook sets the due date from your usual days to answer, shows each RFI as Open, Overdue, Answered or Closed at the status date, and counts the days open and overdue.

Pick an RFI number and the RFI Form sheet prints it on one letter page under your company name, with the question, the answer and any cost or schedule impact. The Summary shows where everything stands, including what is due in the next 7 days and the average days to answer.

A check column, not printed, flags a missing number, a number used twice, a missing date or subject, an answer dated before the RFI was sent, or a closed RFI with no answer date.

FAQ

How is the due date set?

If you enter a required-by date, that is the due date. If not, it is the date sent plus your usual days to answer from the Settings sheet.

When is an RFI overdue?

When the status date is past the due date and there is no answer date and no Closed mark. The status date is today unless you enter one on the Settings sheet.

Does an answer change the contract?

No. The log records what was asked and answered. If an answer changes the cost or the time, confirm it in writing as your contract requires, and ask your own lawyer if you are unsure.
A note on RFI records

The log records what was asked and what was answered. It does not change your contract. If an answer changes the cost or the time, confirm it in writing as your contract requires, and ask your own lawyer if you are unsure. Not legal advice.
