A call to bid was advertised in a national newspaper for the construction of a transmission line from a mini hydroelectric power plant to a substation which is 5.025 kilometers away. Tanalized (treated with the trademarked timber preservative Tanalith) timber electric posts must be placed at intervals of 60 meters. The electric posts must be 15 meters long, 20mm at the tip and 30 mm at the butt. The power house is 15 meters from the first electric post, and the substation is 20meters from the last electric post. Prepare the estimate for the job using the following data: Cost of one tanalized timber post 10 meters long = P880each, delivered to the site; laborers at P30.00 per day. Five laborers can dig and erect 3 posts each day.Electricians at P50.00 per day. Four electricians can string wires complete 150 meters per day. Electric wire costs P1.50 per meter. Use only 5 laborers and 4 electricians for the project and a fore-man at P100.00 per day. Compute the direct cost and add 15%for contingencies and 20% profit.
