A bid form requests a unit price for added concrete per cubic yard. Why is that useful?
Correct Answer
B) It prices quantity changes.
An agreed price per cubic yard provides a rate for pricing an applicable change in concrete quantity, subject to the contract terms. It does not replace dimensions, waive inspections or eliminate waste. The question asks the estimating purpose of the rate, not whether every possible change must use it.
