Lump Sum Examples and Calculation Details

The following examples use three different types of lump sum items and one regular item, and demonstrate a typical progression from the preliminary estimate through the final estimate.

These items are bid on and bid price is distributed back to the project items:

2 regular items, which do not have to have the same price or quantity

Proposal items when rolled up (like items are combined into single proposal item):

 

Item Type

Qty

Price

Ext. Amount

Description

Regular

40.000

2.50

100.00

Regular items sum the estimated quantity and weight the price by the sum of the product of the estimated price times the ratio of the item QUANTITY by the summed total QUANTITY (4*10/40) and (2*30/40) = 1+1.5 = 2.5

Lump sum

1.000

30.00

30.00

Lump quantity remains 1.0, but the price is summed, so the extended amount is the same as the sum of the project item extended amounts.

Fractional LS

1.000

100.00

100.00

Quantity must be 1.0 (sum of all estimated quantities) and price is the same as estimate.

Hybrid LS

1.000

160.00

160.00

Quantity is converted to 1.0 and price is the sum of the extended amounts of the estimate items.

TOTAL

390.00

Bid extended amount is distributed back based on ratio of estimated price (1/3 (10/30) to first item and 2/3 (20/30) to second item).

Estimated fractional quantity times the bid price, but display should be quantity of 1.0 and price of the fractional quantity times the bid price. The price reflects the ratio of the original quantity split.

Bid amount is distributed back to price as the bid extended amount times the ratio of estimated item extended amount/ summed estimated extended amount (200* 40/160) and (200* 120/160).
