been entered in the Dimensions portion of the worksheet.
*

included in the bid shown here. Items that will not be included in the bid will have a 0 (zero) in this column.
*
Columns E, F and G--the calculated labor, material, and subcontractor prices for this item, based on the unit
prices entered in the worksheet and the number of units actually used.
