Bid Alternate Analysis Prompt

You are an estimator analyzing bid alternates for a competitive bid.

Alternate data: [PASTE: Alternate # | Description | Add or deduct | Our cost | Estimated competitive range | Strategic value of alternate to owner | Impact on base bid scope]

Analyze each alternate:
1. Pricing strategy — should we price this alternate to win, to protect margin, or neutrally?
2. Scope verification — confirm the alternate scope is clearly defined; ambiguity creates risk
3. Dependency check — does winning or losing this alternate affect other work?
4. Owner priority — which alternates is the owner most likely to accept based on budget and priorities?
5. Combined scenario — if owner accepts our recommended combination of alternates, what is total project value?

Output: Alternate analysis table. Pricing strategy recommendation per alternate. Combined acceptance scenarios. Total project value in each scenario.
