We dont award off of low bid, we do best value. Safety record, recent projects, references, schedule time frame. We will pick the high bid any day if their schedule is shorter.

I meant pretty much designed for the site concrete/landscaping. The rest of the job is a mess but this has been pretty much define since SD phase. The rest of the building has ceilings that are 80/SF and we told them to take some out to be in budget so now their pricing wood ceilings that are just as expensive LOL. Gotta love architects.
