The bid form requires separate unit prices for rock excavation and unsuitable soil removal. A civil quote combines them. What should the estimator do?
Correct Answer
D) Separate or clarify the unit prices before submitting the bid
Obtain separate supported prices for the two requested units or seek clarification through the allowed bidding channel. Duplicating a combined quote under both lines risks double counting and does not establish either unit rate. The subcontractor’s quote format does not amend the owner’s bid form.
