Do you itemize your bids?

Just curious how everyone formats the numbers in their bids.

Do you just send a total number or is it broken down into tasks and equipment costs, etc?
 
I don't either, unless it's a government bid where they specifically request it. In
which case, I just follow their guidelines (which are usually pretty specific).

P.
 
I usually itemize using generalizations, like:

"2-Day Shoot (includes crew & equipment): $2500"
"Teleprompt (2 days): $1000"
"Tape Stock & Materials: $200"
"Editorial (5 days): $5000"

No need to give TOO much info.
 
Yeah that's what I've been doing. I feel like just plunking them with a number didn't seem right.

Still pretty new to the freelancing part of this thing. Just not sure what's typically expected.
 
If the client doesn't know exactly what they're getting, the extended numbers might just throw them off. Most people skip to the bottom anyway.
