Why is the contractor normally required to submit a bid bond when making a proposal to an owner on a competitively bid contract?

Engineering
1 answer:
just olya [345]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.

Explanation:

A bid bond is a type of construction bond that protects the obligee in a  construction bidding process.

A bid bond typically involves three parties:

The obligee; the owner or developer of the construction project under bid. The principal; the bidder or proposed contractor.

The surety; the agency that issues the bid bond to the principal example insurance company or bank.

A bid bond generally serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.

A large class with 1,000 students took a quiz consisting of ten questions. To get an A, students needed to get 9 or 10 questions
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a. 0.11

b. 110 students

c. 50 students

d. 0.46

e. 460 students

f. 540 students

g. 0.96

Explanation:

(See attachment below)

a. Probability that a student got an A

To get an A, the student needs to get 9 or 10 questions right.

That means we want P(X≥9);

P(X>9) = P(9)+P(10)

= 0.06+0.05=0.11

b. How many students got an A on the quiz

Total students = 1000

Probability of getting A = 0.11 ---- Calculated from (a)

Number of students = 0.11 * 1000

Number of students = 110 students

So,the number of students that got A is 110

c. How many students did not miss a single question

For a student not to miss a single question, then that student scores a total of 10 out of possible 10

P(10) = 0.05

Total Students = 1000

Number of Students = 0.05 * 1000

Number of Students = 50 students

We see that 5

d. Probability that a student pass the quiz

To pass, a student needed to get at least 6 questions right.

So we want P(X>=6);

P(X>=) =P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)

=0.08+0.12+0.15+0.06+0.05=0.46

So, the probability of a student passing the quiz is 0.46

e. Number of students that pass the quiz

Total students = 1000

Probability of passing the quiz = 0.46 ----- Calculated from (d)

Number of students = 0.46 * 1000

Number of students = 460 students

So,the number of students that passed the test is 460

f. Number of students that failed the quiz

Total students = 1000

Total students that passed = 460 ----- Calculated from (e)

Number of students that failed = 1000 - 460

Number of students that failed = 540

So,the number of students that failed is 540

g. Probability that a student got at least one question right

This means that we want to solve for P(X>=1)

Using the complement rule,

P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X<1)

P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0)

P(X>=1) = 1 - 0.04

P(X>=1) = 0.96

Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration of 0.30 wt% at a position 4 mm into an iron–carbon al
Ahat [919]

Answer:

the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration is 31.657 hours

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

To determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve the given carbon concentration, we will be using the following equation:

(Cs - Cx) / (Cs - C0) = ERF( x / 2√Dt)

where Cs is Concentration of carbon at surface = 0.90

Cx is Concentration of carbon at distance x = 0.30 ; x in this case is 4 mm = ( 0.004 m )

C0 is Initial concentration of carbon = 0.10

ERF() = Error function at the given value

D = Diffusion of Carbon into steel

t = Time necessary to achieve given carbon concentration ,

so

(Cs - Cx) / (Cs - C0) = (0.9 - 0.3) / (0.9 - 0.1)

= 0.6 / 0.8

= 0.75

now, ERF(z) = 0.75; using ERF table, we can say;

Z ~ 0.81; which means ( x / 2√Dt) = 0.81

Now, Using the table of diffusion data

D = 5.35 × 10⁻¹¹ m²/sec at (1100°C) or 1373 K

now we calculate the carbonizing time by using the following equation;

z = (x/2√Dt)

t is carbonizing time

so we we substitute in our values

0.81 = ( 0.004 / 2 × √5.35 × 10⁻¹¹ × √t)

0.81 = 0.004 / 1.4628 × 10⁻⁵ × √t

0.81 × 1.4628 × 10⁻⁵ × √t = 0.004

1.184868 × 10⁻⁵ × √t = 0.004  

√t = 0.004 / 1.184868 × 10⁻⁵

√t = 337.5903

t = ( 337.5903)²  

t = 113967.21 seconds

we convert to hours

t = 113967.21 / 3600

t = 31.657 hours

Therefore, the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration is 31.657 hours
