Is this "current"?

This is the bane with ALL estimating programs and services ~ current material price.

IMHO, the only accurate barometer is a call to the seller.
For coming up with with a quick number - I'd add a percentage on top to allow for delays in what is actually "current".

EDIT:
From the link above:
#350 AL THHN $4,434.08/KLF

*Aluminum THHN requires a minimum order of 20,000 ft. per size.

I have a spreadsheet from Southwire that calculates budgetary prices based on the current copper price per pound. Using $2.18 a pound, 2000 ft of 350 MCM copper XHHW is $11,896. This is a budgetary number, so your supply house should be able to beat it if you actually have them quote it.

Hi Guys

Im doing a bid ans need to price out about 2000' 350 mcm. Is there a website that has current market rates for wire?


Thanks
I'm with the others here. Get several quotes for it. And check the validity of the quote.
With the current volatility of the market, I have had some suppliers give a validity of just seven days.
Maybe you need a caveat in your bid to allow for contract price adjustment for meterial price based on the LME or equivalent.

Not maybe, he needs the adjustment terms, spelled out in the quote.
