To each task, you can add a contingency.

A contingency is an additional value on top of the calculated value, without adding an extra estimate line to a task.

You can also use the contingency to, for example, add a risk or a margin.

The relevant calculations are:

• Bid value = Calculated value + Contingency + Index
• Calculated value = sum of Total sales prices of all estimate lines for the task.
