Write down the differences
Keep one set of notes for each provider. Label optional work clearly. Do not combine the removal-only rate from one quote with the replacement price from another and assume that the contractors will coordinate at those prices.
The cost worksheet can total a proposal’s line items. It does not independently verify a provider’s measurements, claims, or pricing.
