Can that possibly be turned into an allowance item to help create a more fair or apples to apples pricing for that bid item perhaps? A1: Refer to Addendum 4: Please place within your bid an allowance of $50,000. The allowance will be for the survey, the abatement and directly associated asbestos removal related items.
