Bidding Lesson - links

I encourage you to read the articles I have included on bidding a job. Later on in the semester you will need to send the project manager a description of how many hours you have worked on the project and a projection for how many more hours you will need to complete the project. Also include the cost you feel your time is worth. This will be your "bid estimate".

Here are some links which may prove helpful in compiling the bid
