BigD is an unknown quantity at this point
The bidding is entirely up to you. You can ask one company to bid the project or 5 companies, but the more bids you get the more competitive price you will obtain.
As far as who to invite to bid...once you have a strong idea of the final scope of work, invite whatever companies that can complete the job the best.
I would suggest finding a book that goes into more detail on all of these phases, I would guess that some of the other people on the site would be able to make some good suggestions, but one of the text books that I have used is Construction Specifications Writing by Harold J. Rosen and John R. Regener Jr. It has info. on all of this and has several sample forms that could be used.
