The purpose of the specifications is to get everyone to bid apples to apples, but if folks are going to be picking and choosing the extra steps that they go through, then what is the point? The playing field isn't level.
So what's a brother to do when bidding against other firms that are not going to factor extra costs into their bid?
The biggest speced line item in my bid is the custom planting mix. I am throwing away all excavate and replanting with 20 yrds of custom blend.
After that it would be ooze tubes, then stakes. If other guys are not going to be through with the planting mix then I am going to be high by a couple G's.
Do I cross my fingers or is there someway to win?
