Subtotal by Category |
If you have entered categories for the project, select this option to print a sub-total line at the end of each category. See - Estimating (Advanced Options) for additional information on entering and using categories. |
Subtotal by Phase |
If you have entered phases for the project, select this option to print a sub-total line at the end of each phase. See - Estimating (Advanced Options) for additional information on entering and using phases. |
Double Space |
Check this box to double-space the report. Double spacing makes the report easier to read. However, if there is a large number of Pay Items on the job, the number of pages can be cut in half by selecting single spacing. |
Pay Item Notes |
Check this box to include any pay item notes that have been included in the estimate. |
Use State Bid Form |
Some state DOTs do not currently have a bid disk. In some cases, Professional Estimating - HEAVY can generate an approved bid report that may be submitted as your bid. If you want to use this feature, contact OSI for a list of approved states. Also, you may have to submit a copy of the printout to the DOT for approval PRIOR to your first use of the report for a bid submittal. |
Print Gray Bar |
Check this box to print a gray bar background for every other pay item. This option can make it easier to read a report where the numbers go across the page. |
Name on Report |
The system will automatically print the registered company’s name on the report. This option allows you to select a different name to print on the report. |
Show On Report |
These options allow you to select the information you want to include on the report (in addition to the bid price). If you are submitting a bid, you will want to select the BID PRICES ONLY option. |
Print Header/Footer |
