INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT DISCIPLINE MANUAL is to define

procedures and job descriptions and to maintain consistency in the production of the
electrical/instrument portion of detailed conceptual, lump sum, and definitive estimates.
It is intended to set forth correct work-hours. The information should service as a
guideline for an estimate's manual; its organization parallels the activities of a typical
project.
First, the estimator must identify the major areas of the project (i.e., scope, drawings,
specifications, dates, etc.). Then, activity responsibility must be determined within each
code of account (i.e., labor, purchasing, shop fabrication, field run, etc.). Once a plan has
been established, the quantity survey begins. After takeoff has been completed with workhours, material dollars, and qualifications, the estimate is then reviewed by the chief
estimator. Technical content, accuracy, and historical comparisons are performed. After
these adjustments, the estimate is turned over to the project estimator. The estimate then
proceeds through the formal reviewing process to completion.
This manual also has typical details and standards that may be used when no other
drawings or definitions pertinent to the project are available.
Additionally, each electrical/instrument estimator has the responsibility to suggest ways to
revise and update the manual. The ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of this manual
belongs to the chief electrical/instrument estimator. Suggestions should be made to him.
Always be mindful that we are working together and toward the same goal, any
information that the estimator receives that is beneficial to the other estimators should be
shared. It is also the responsibility of the estimator to communicate with the estimators of
the other disciplines to assure uniformity of the estimate.
Finally the estimator must ask questions if uncertain about a particular situation. He must
be willing to seek advice from those with experience and to research and be able to support
any assumptions that are made. All important aspects of the electrical/instrument estimate
should be clarified in writing in the estimate qualifications.

ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENTATION ESTIMATING
GUIDELINES
LEAD ESTIMATOR RESPONSIBILITY
The Lead Estimator is responsible for the execution and creation of the
Electrical/Instrumentation portion of the estimate to which he or she is assigned. This is to
be done in a timely fashion, within the time period directed by the Project Estimator.
The Lead Estimator's responsibilities are further defined as follows:
Attend the kickoff meeting. On most projects, this will occur at the proper time. Be
sure that the Chief Estimator is aware of the scheduled meeting.
Review the estimate package with milestones and deadlines in mind. This will
effect manpower staffing, estimate philosophy/approach, and review cycle. Be sure
to review the bid form, as this can also effect the quantification approach.
Meet with the Chief Estimator to discuss strategy. Once the package has been
reviewed, the Estimator must brief the Chief Estimator on the results of his or her
perusal. Together, a decision will be reached regarding the manpower requirements,
quantity survey approach, procurement approach, and a tentative schedule for the
Chief review. Once these decisions are made, the Lead Estimator implements the plan
or approach. Any deviation requires mutual agreement.
Create RFQ packages for material and subcontract pricing solicitation. A high
priority must be placed on this activity. Reference the "Procurement section of this
manual for a detailed explanation of this extremely critical portion of the effort. Be
sure to incorporate any bid form and/or unit price requirements into these packages.
Read and absorb specifications. Since the specifications can sometimes effect the
quantity survey, this exercise should be performed prior to beginning the
quantification effort. Take care to note any concerns or unusual requirements as you
progress. These should be listed in the qualification portion of the estimate. It is the
Lead Estimator's responsibility to convey any pertinent information to each of the
Detail Estimators during the course of the estimate.
Proceed with quantity survey. This will be to the level of detail agreed upon with the
Chief Estimator. On projects where you have support staff, this exercise can proceed
while you are reading the specifications. The Lead Estimator must ensure continuity
between Detail Estimators, where applicable.
Proceed with data input. This should be done in a fashion to suit the project
requirements and the approach agreed upon with the Chief Estimator.

LEAD ESTIMATOR RESPONSIBILITY - Continued
Review data with Engineering. If the proposal is EPC, this exercise is a must. The
objective is to allow the Engineer to agree on your interpretation of the scope of work
and the information he or she transmitted to you. If the schedule allows, the Chief
Estimator should have the opportunity to briefly review the output prior to this
review.
Review the estimate with the Chief Estimator. Prior to this meeting, the Lead
Estimator should review all project notes, qualifications, specifications, and all other
general information. This will allow a concise and accurate description of the subject
project. The objective of this meeting is for the Chief Estimator to confirm that the
agreed approaches were executed and to establish a desired level of comfortability
with the accuracy. The Lead Estimator should bring his or her compiled "backup"
information to allow a proper review of all information that was utilized to create the
data.
Submit reviewed, required files and information to the Project Estimator. This
includes the ESP excel file and a hard copy of the overall, area, and system summaries.
All changes to the various tabs within the file are to shade in gray before submittal.
Once the project estimator combines the file, be sure to verify that the summary level
is consistent with the last reviewed copy of the discipline estimate. This should be
done prior to department review.
Support the balance of the review cycle as required. Be sure to provide at least two
copies of your individual estimate run for use by yourself and your chief during the
department review.
Log completed backup information in the Job Log located on the network. This is to
be in the format and to the requirements as defined in the "Qualifications & Backup"
section of this manual. A proposal is not complete until this exercise is satisfied.

LEAD ESTIMATOR RESPONSIBILITY - Continued
Listed below are other important aspects critical to departmental Quality:
Be certain that all daily requirements have been satisfied prior to departing for the
day. As a courtesy, check with the Project Estimator during the critical points of the
estimate effort.
Keep your Chief Estimator abreast of all meetings, intermediate milestones,

addendums, etc. throughout the estimate effort.
Maintain communication with the Construction Representative to ensure that the

construction approaches and Engineering philosophies reflect reasonable
constructability considerations.
When assigned to a location other than your home base, take basic supplies with
you (i.e. calculator, scales, civil manual/bogie book, computer, highlighters, and
takeoff sheets). In addition, as soon as you identify your location and phone
number, inform the Department Secretary and the Chief Estimator.

INSTRUMENT/ELECTRICAL ESTIMATING GUIDELINES
In order to better document the estimate and create more uniformity within the disciplines,
certain guidelines and procedures will be implemented in the estimating department.
Throughout the estimate phase, certain items need to be evaluated and checked. The
purpose of this document is to establish the procedures/checks to be made during the
estimate phase.
Although every project is different and the requirements change slightly, there are basic
similarities to all jobs. Documentation will vary, but in most cases drawings are available.
The general job documents, namely the scope of work and the discipline specifications, as
well as related specifications, must be read thoroughly on all jobs so the estimator can
prepare an accurate estimate.
During the take-off process, the drawings need to be properly marked (highlighted) to
show the item has been transferred onto the take-off sheets. If there are details or other
views of the same item, there needs to be some designation to acknowledge that the detail
has been looked at and that the item has already been taken off. When an addendum is
received and the drawings change, only the added/changed/altered items on the revised
drawing need to be marked, but the drawing needs to have some designation to show it is
a revised drawing so that anyone will be aware of where and how the information was
generated. Another important item is to qualify any assumption or job parameter
throughout the estimate phase. This not only provides traceability to the estimate
document, but will aid in costing the job later.
The following charts will describe the process in which a typical estimate will follow and a
listing of documents with a discussion as to how often they are received.

ESTIMATE QUALIFICATION
GENERAL
Estimate Qualification can only be placed in the direct portion of your file. It is also
advisable that the qualification be placed in the last cost schedule area, behind its
appropriate discipline.
Qualifications can be placed anywhere in the estimate file detail lines except it cannot be
between "T" and "S" lines. Qualification is started with a "Q" in column 13, followed by
qualification lines (between column 14 and 72) and an "E" in column 13 ending the
qualification.
Q
All qualification test goes here between column lines 14 and 72 and
can be as many lines you require.
E
Lines in the qualification structure shown
above would NOT require code of
accounts, bid item number or schedule
I.D.
DISCIPLINE
The discipline qualifications should be written by Lead Estimators, and should be both
intended for inhouse and Client/Bid purposes.
In order to develop a comprehensive list of qualifications, it is important to compile an
ongoing list of exceptions and clarifications as you prepare the estimate. You should do
this as you read the scope of work, specifications and make the material take-off from the
project drawings.
Qualifications should be written as short and precise as possible, using complete sentences
with proper grammar. They should also be written in a positive manner.
Qualifications should include basis of quantification, pricing, and any exceptions taken.
The Project Estimator should edit the qualifications before the final publication of the
estimate, to make sure it is structured for its intent.
