Prices are the unit prices each utility printed for the bidder, as bid. Where a tab prints only a total, the unit price is that total divided by the quantity and labelled. Loss-evaluated (ownership) cost is never shown as a price. Units above 10 MVA are kept apart. A median needs 5 or more bids from 2 or more utilities; below that the page says so instead of showing a number. Every row links to the utility's own document. Not a quote, not an estimate.
