Submitted a proposal for $60k for some project. They come back with a tech eval and state “Please review. If you agree with our eval resubmit by Friday for award”. Those fuckers cut it to $20k. No that’s cool, we don’t need to test any soil or concrete, or haul spoils off site, or pay dump charges, or any of the other stuff we’re supposed to do.

We will probably resubmit at $50 or so. Most of this is a function of end-user funds, which they can’t tell us up front because reasons I guess.

But your customer is already treating you like an asshole, it only seems fair to return the favor.

Solution:

Switch to CPIF-> rebid 20k-> make all incentives on quality vice time or dollars-> overrun.

Yeah, and when you go to those place you see the results of cutting corners on all your construction. I’m too lazy to dig up some of the pictures I took, but it ain’t pretty, but it is funny in a sad way.
