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

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.

The volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula
saw5 [17]

The expression of V(m³)=e^(t(s)) to make V in in³ and t in minutes is;

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

We are given that;

Volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula;

V = e^(t)

where;

t is in seconds

V is in m³

We want to now express V in in³ and t in minutes.

Now, from conversions;

1 m³ = 61024 in³

Also; 1 second = 1/60 minutes

according to formula for exponential decay, we know that;

V = ae^(bt)

Thus, we have;

61024V = ae^(¹/₆₀b(t(h))

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

A 500-km, 500-kV, 60-Hz, uncompensated three-phase line has a positivesequence series impedance. z = 5 0.03 1 + j 0.35 V/km and
Anni [7]

Answer:

A) 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C)

A = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit

B =  164.6 < 85.42°Ω  

C =  2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s

D =  0.812 < 1.09° per unit

Explanation:

Given data :

Z ( impedance ) = 0.03 i  + j 0.35 Ω/km

positive sequence shunt admittance ( Y ) = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

A) calculate Zc

Zc = \sqrt{\frac{z}{y} }  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.03 i  + j 0.35}{j4.4*10^-6 } }    

    = \sqrt{79837.128< 4.899^o}   =  282.6 < -2.45°

hence Zc = 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) Calculate  gl

gl = \sqrt{zy} * d  

 d = 500

 z = 0.03 i  + j 0.35

 y = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

gl =  \sqrt{0.03 i  + j 0.35*  j4.4*10^-6}  * 500

   = \sqrt{1.5456*10^{-6} < 175.1^0} * 500

   = 0.622 < 87.55 °

gl = 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C) exact ABCD parameters for this line

A = cos h (gl) . per unit  =  0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

B = Zc sin h (gl) Ω  = 164.6 < 85.42°Ω  ( as calculated )

C = 1/Zc  sin h (gl) s  =  2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s ( as calculated )

D = cos h (gl) . per unit = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

where :  cos h (gl)  = \frac{e^{gl} + e^{-gl}  }{2}

             sin h (gl) = \frac{e^{gl}-e^{-gl}  }{2}

Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. Technician A says that the computer uses the IAT sensor
mart [117]

Both the technicians are correct.

Explanation

Intake air temperature sensor is used in engines of vehicles to monitor the temperature of air entering the engine.

They are basically made of thermistors whose electrical resistance changes according to temperature.

Depending upon the reading and accuracy of intake air temperature sensor, the power-train control module (PCM) will decide about the air and fuel mixture ratio in the engine.

The hot air in engine requires less fuel to operate the engine parts while cold air requires more fuel to operate the engine.

The ratio of air and fuel mixture should be maintained in the engine and it is done by PCM only after getting the input from IAT. So technician B is saying correct.

Also the IAT works as a backup to support the engine coolant temperature sensor by the computer.

As the IAT checks the temperature of outside air, it will help to change the coolant temperature of the engine based on the environment.

Thus technician A is also correct. So both the technicians are correct.
