I received an e-mail from one of our prospective contractors after I followed up to see when we will have pricing for our space. I explained to him that our timeline is very tight and that by the end of the day we will have 2 bids and would like to make a decision before a new week starts.
His response to me was as follows:
"I did not realize that you had two other bidders. It would seem like you are covered with regards to bids. I have been waiting for our electrical price-the service size will need to be increased. I would not typically price against two other bidders for a project of this size. Please make your choice from the two bids you have in hand. I wish you suggest in your new venture."
I am completely baffled. Don't most people shop around for the best deal, products and service. I am sure that this company does great work but wouldn't we be fools to rely on one company. I know that we are not a multi-million dollar project but money is money right. I suppose this is another lesson learned during this part of my journey.
So it looks like we are going to have to make a decision with only 3 bids or its back to the drawing board. I have a good felling about our meeting tonight. The company has been very professional and attentive. I also got a warm and fuzzy feeling when I met with them 2 weeks ago. I hope that counts for something.
Anywho, my timer just went off.
