ABSTRACT
As part of the technical analysis, the Project Manager must analyze bidder takeoffs to ascertain the bidder's understanding of the scope and will also analyze unit costs and estimated hours for reasonableness and consistency. To do so, the Project Manager must develop, using the same information sent to the bidders, independent take-offs and estimated work hours. Major deviations from the estimates must be discussed with the Contract Engineer to determine how to approach the bidder on the subject. .
