Compare equivalent scopes
A lower total may exclude work included elsewhere. Ask each bidder to identify assumptions, allowances, optional work, and the exact equipment being proposed.
Verify the provider
Use the contractor verification guide and confirm the current ROC record and classification for the work. Verify insurance separately because an ROC license does not by itself prove general liability coverage.
