It is required to:
Calculate the balanced bid for the small bridge project.
Unbalance the bid to obtain the maximum allowed greater early income (Front-End-Loading). The variation in items' prices should not exceed +-20% of the balanced bid prices. (Note: End-Item: Finishes & Front-Items: 2-Excavation Types)
Unbalance the bid to maximize the increase of the profit; if you knew that the actual quantities of the excavation (unclassified), excavation (structural) and the brickworks would be 2,000,1,500 and 2,500, sequentially. The variation in items' prices should not exceed +-30% of the balanced bid prices. Calculate the percentage of extra profit due to this unbalancing.
