Are you comparing bids or are you comparing final prices? Bidding specifically what is on the contract and then charging extra for things that are not in a contract has become a very common thing. The contractor writes up the contract to build the wall and makes a subtle reference that all things not specifically in thr quote will be charged for by time and materials. The client tends to miss this and award the bid to the one with the lowest bottom line. After the extras, your bid might have been the lowest.

Been seeing and hearing this lately with maintenance estimates/contracts.
