All rows and columns on the Bid Sheet are locked, only the Yearly Bid Price Per Unit column is unlocked and available for Bidder's to update with specific unit prices. The Bid Price Sheet has built in formulas to automatically calculate yearly price totals (Tab Year 1 F-1 through Tab Year 5 F-5) as well as carrying over those yearly totals onto the Grand Totals Tab or F-8.
