Friends:
This is another example of a fake "Line Item' bid scheme. Fill out 55 pages of "Line Items", just so they can pick a single favorable line item for their "Preferred Vendor".
Let me make a prediction: AEPA will choose one of the following: Tremco, or Garland. They're the only ones who perpetrate in such heinous abuse of taxpayers.
I want RCI to "Stand Up", and tell AEPA : NO LINE ITEM BIDDING. No estimator in this country (or anywhere else) can determine the price of a roof from a "list". There are just too many variables in figuring these projects, and NO LIST on earth can produce a hard bid. Can't do it.
What their "list" says is the exact opposite of how any roofing professional estimates are done.
