Alternates are listed in Division 01 and on the bid form. An add alternate adds work and cost. A deduct alternate removes work and cost.
Example: Alternate 1 adds a divider curtain to the auxiliary gym. The base bid has no curtain. The equipment bidder prices the curtain as a separate add.
Read the description of each alternate and find the sheets it touches. Take off the alternate work apart from the base bid. Price each alternate on its own line. Never fold an alternate into the base bid number.
