Question

You are the proposal manager for an opportunity to design and build a new assembly line for the production of artificial heart valves.  A required equipment item is a 3-D X-ray inspection system.                                                                                                                                                                                         

You have discussed purchase of the equipment with management, and their preference is to purchase the item as the assembly line is nearing completion (potentially up to 6 months away).  You can use a rough estimate for the bid but would like to know the cost range you could anticipate in order to quantify project risk.  The current price of the system is $75,500.00, and the current cost for installation is 15% of the purchase price.  Price could vary by as much as +/- 10%, and installation may vary by +/- 5%, although the prices have not varied by that much in the past 6 months.
