The Average Unit Bid Prices Database provides historic bid information by bid item number for the past 48 months. Users can filter data and explore the historical cost of bid items across unit price (lump sum bid prices are excluded). This information, along with other resources, can be used by design professionals to develop estimates of probable construction cost.
The Average Unit Bid Prices Database is provided for informational purposes only and is updated on a quarterly basis. The design consultant is still responsible for developing estimates of probable construction cost within an acceptable range as outlined in their contract.
