This table is where you enter the line items that will become schedule of values lines in the subsequent commitment. You can enter data by using the Add Line Button, the Add Items Button, and the Add Estimate Items button.
When you click the Add Estimate Items button a dialog opens displaying all of the line items from all of the estimates linked to the project selected in the header of the Bid Package record. (If "*All*" is selected in the Project field, all lines from all estimates are displayed in the dialog.)
Place a checkmark in the first column of each line you wish to link to and then click the Save button at the bottom of the dialog.
Bid Items Table
Include in Bid - If unchecked, the bid item only displays in the Bid Package record and does not display in the online bidding record.
Estimated Unit Costs - The estimated unit cost of the line. This number does not appear in the online bidding record.
Estimated Total - The default is Quantity times Est. Unit Cost, but may be edited. If this field is edited, Est. Unit Cost is recalculated as Estimated Total divided by Quantity. This number does not appear in the online bidding record.
Bidder Columns:
Each bidder added in the Bidder Matrix tab will have a column here. Defaults to the Total Amount of the line in the linked online bidding record but may be edited. Editing this field does not change the online bidding record. Click the label (the vendor's name) to navigate to their online bidding record.
Click the button next to the label to open a dialog which displays totals for all of the online bidder's bid revisions. You can use this dialog to select the bidder's "Best Bid". See Manage Bids Tab for more information.
If highlighted in yellow, one or more bid items in the linked online bidding record has been leveled. See Online Bidding for more information about bid leveling.
