What cost estimating technique did Jenna use?a. cost performance baseline
b. historical relationships
c. project funding requirements
d. vendor bid analysis

Answer 1

Jenna used the vendor bid analysis .

Option D

Explanation:

Vendor Bid Analysis is the tool of evaluating the proposals received by many suppliers to determine the cost of such a project. This can be done by taking into account the risk provided for project works (through quotations, deals, proposals, etc.).

The buyer's side can take account of documents from existing agreements, meeting qualitative needs, capability and infrastructure, establishing time limits for records, financial capacity, and services when analyzing the offers of a good or service.

This is not an official offer to purchase the property, but rather a public declaration that the seller isn't satisfied with the last offer which is used to keep the deal on track.
