Bid Tabs Professional Plus
Overview
A companion product to BidTabs Professional, BidTabs PLUS is add-on module (program) allowing you to set up a spreadsheet of pay items with multiple columns of prices. You can import the pay item data for an upcoming job from an electronic format such as Expedite or Excel and then load pay item prices (averages) from BidTabs Professional in four different columns.
The pay item averages are based on parameters defined by the user, such as state average prices in a county or region, a competitor's prices and many others. By viewing what past prices have been for pay items, a user can very quickly determine approximate project size and get a feel for average prices or competitors prices for an upcoming job.
Program Highlights
Import Data
- Easily import pay item data from a DOT bid disk or from a spreadsheet file, or pick pay items (batch load) from a master database or add pay
items one at a time. Quantity Parameters
- When loading averages for all pay items, you can enter a quantity percentage over/under the current project quantity that the system will
use when calculating pay item averages. You can also enter project size ranges to calculate lump sum items.
Specific Pay Item - When loading averages for specific pay items, you can quickly view all items that make up the average price
for a pay item. You then have the ability to "dial in" the weighted average by excluding specific prices that you feel are too
low or too high and may skew the price. Category Totals - Easily create and display subtotals for each category of work. Quickly break down and review each category
of work for a more in-depth understanding of work to be performed.. Reports- Compare different pricing scenarios for any project or print a listing of pay items falling outside user-defined
parameters. Show Records Found - Display the number of records that were found when calculating the average price for each pay item
based on the criteria you set. Import/Export - Import and export pay item data from and to other programs and files including Expedite and spreadsheet files. Metric Conversion - Easily switch between English and Metric units of measure at any time.
