General Question Contacts

The Unit Bid Analysis (UBA) contains the bid history for Standard Bid Items used in WSDOT projects.

This Bid History data includes a listing of projects in which a bid item was used, the Low, Second and Third bidder information for those projects, as well as the quantity and measurement data.
The Unit Bid Analysis Provides a good starting point for determining Bid Item costs
