		The objectives of the Bill of Quantities are: (1) to provide sufficient information on the quantities of Works to be performed to enable bids to be prepared efficiently and accurately; and when a contract has been entered into, (2) to provide a priced Bill of Quantities for use in the periodic valuation of works executed.
		The Bills of Quantities are usually indicated by items of work, units of measurement, quantities of work, rate for doing the work, and total value of the work.
		The Bill of Quantities indicate that labor cost (including the cost of all types of labor) per hour for the work is $240.
