Adding a Bottom Line Markup

Bottom Line markups are markups that are always calculated on the gross total for a project, and the bottom line markup includes it's calculated amount in the gross total.

 

To add a Bottom Line markup, click on the Totals / Markups option on the Summary Sheet toolbar. Next, right mouse click on any row in the Totals / Markups panel and select Insert New Below or Insert New Above. This will bring up the Add Markup window. In the Add Markup Window, type in a description for the new markup and then choose Bottom Line for the markup Type.

The next step is to enter the percentage for the Bottom Line Markup. After entering the percentage you can then choose the basis for the markup amount and how it is to be spread across the bid packages in the project. 

 

If you choose to limit how the basis for the Bottom Line markup and how it is to be spread across the project, click on the Limit to WBSes option towards the bottom of the markup page. Next, determine which WBS the markup should be spread to. For example, if you choose Alternate, you could limit the percentage basis to specific alternates. For example, you may want to limit the bottom line type markup to just the costs associated with the base bid, as demonstrated in the screenshot below:
