What problem of the low-bid process is the negotiated price process intended to solve? The negotiated price process places a greater emphasis on lowering cost than the low-bid process.
The negotiated price process focuses on contractor qualifications instead of simply seeking the lowest-bidding contractor.
The negotiated price process is easier to manage than the low-bid process.
The negotiated price process is faster than the low-bid process.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
