3.5.12 Release TBA	Bidding By Line-Item HDP now supports line-item based bidding, in addition to the previous options of bidding by trade and by project total. Support for Bid Requests Bids are now grouped under a Bid Request. An address can have several Bid Requests, where each unique Request identifies what work is available for bidding and how much detail the bidder should provide. Bid Comparison Report Compares up to four contractor bids per Bid Request, helping you select the contractor that suits your needs for that specific rehab project. Spec Cost Updating Add-On HDP uses your bid history (at the line-item level of detail) to update specs’ unit costs. You choose which bid information to include or not, then HDP calculates new unit costs for you. You manually approve the specs you want to update. N/A option for Unit Cost of Spec Added functionality to set Unit Cost for spec to “No costs are associated with this specification,” used mostly for some General Requirement specs. These specs appear on Specs by Location and Specs by Trade reports with Unit Price and Total Price as N/A but are filtered out of bidding and draw tracking. Dynamic Welcome Screen The welcome screen in HDP includes recent postings from the HDP Forum.
