Add Alternate Items to the Procurement Item

Contents

You can add alternate items that do not belong with scope items. For example, if you want elm trees, but you know they probably won’t be available, use the Alternates section on the Bid Tabulation tab to add maple trees as an alternate item for bid. Alternate items are not included in the total amount of the procurement item. If you use an alternate item and want to award it, you must move the item to either the Scope Items or General Items section.

To add alternate items:

1. In the procurement item, click the Bid Tabulation tab and click Add next to Alternates to open the Add Alternate Dialog Box.
2. In the Title field, enter the title for the scope item.
3. Enter the Quantity and Unit Price information.
4. Add any comments to the Comments field.
5. Click Save and Add Another to add more alternate items or click Save and Close when finished.
