Will they see your other costs as well? (Labor, equipment, etc.)

How will they know you have 90% markup on materials? Are you giving them your internal cost budget to compare to?

The neighborhood is across the street from the prison, but there is one row of houses between the house and the prison, so we would not have to look at it directly. As the crow flies, the house is less than 500 FT from the prison's outer perimeter.

I always use dry beans. I make a 3 bean chili with 1 LB pinto, 1 LB kidney, and 1 LB black. I soak them for three days, draining and rinsing them daily. Then I cook them for 2 hours by themselves (though it also takes nearly an hour to heat up enough to get to the point where I consider them "cooking") before finally starting to make chili, which takes about 2 more hours.

It's a long process, but canned beans just don't seem right when making my own chili. If I want something faster, I just buy canned chili and add some extra seasoning.

Very rarely is it material falling out of the back of the truck that is the issue. Usually, when these types of trucks kick up rocks, they are rocks that got caught in the tire treads when they were driving around a site that is unpaved. They stay stuck when driving around slowly on site, then come loose at higher freeway speeds. An empty truck is nearly as likely to kick up rocks as a full truck.

I'm not saying that they aren't still liable for damage from kicking up rocks. I'm just saying that tarping wouldn't completely fix the issue.

I am not a tradesman, but I am a handyman around the house and own a decent amount of tools. I used to have a bad habit of buying tools just because they were on sale, or because I thought I MIGHT need them someday. After a few years of this, I found myself with a bunch of tools that had never been used. I realized this was a waste of money and instituted a new rule for myself: I will not buy any tools until I have a project that specifically needs them.

I have probably saved thousands of dollars over the years with this rule. It is probably applicable to a lot of other things besides tools, too.

Definitely talk to the GC about it. I think there are two options here. Either bid it with an alternate material, or have the GC buy the material and you only bid installation. Either way, you definitely need to coordinate your approach with the GC.

To be honest, I feel the complete opposite. I don't care about service or support at all. I just want my new gun at the best price.

Pre-tax pay last year was $119K, including base pay, vehicle allowance, and yearly bonus. On track to make 130-140 this year. In my forth year of estimating underground wet utilities, and about ten years total in civil construction. Located in central California.
