Hybrid Lump Sums Question] Why is the Structure Excavation – item 0510.0101000A LS on the website and m in Estimator?
A5. The website shows the bid items as they will be viewed and bid by contractors. An “A” designation at the end of a bid item indicates the bid item is either a lump sum (LS) or a “hybrid”. Hybrids are bid items that have been developed from specific estimated quantities, but for bidding purposes, have been “lumped” together as a lump sum. When using hybrid bid items the estimated quantities are input in Estimator and automatically converted to lump sum within the PES/DSS systems.
