1.   Item # 16 (5 lengths of 1 ½ x 1 ½ x  3/6’ angle bar @ =P=280.00 unit cost, or total cost of =P=1,400.00) is not applicable to the construction of the said steel gate.

2.   Item # 13, the 6 lengths 2”O G.I. Pipe3, with a unit cost of =P=1,300.00, can be reduced to just 5 lengths considering that 5 lengths of said item are already enough for use of the project

With 5 length of 2”f GI Pipes, there will be welded joint in between the frame, the engineer-in-charge opted to avoid this, but then an additional length is needed.

3.   The overhead cost of =P=11,000.00, which is 7.8% of the whole total project cost which is intended for the salary of engineering aide is no longer necessary for the project is so simple.
