If that is what it takes to keep a well-oiled machine going until the busy season, you're doing okay. Hiring, training, getting to production stage costs $$$$$$.

Sounds like you ciphered that just right...congrats on getting the bid. Looks like a lot of work for y'all.
And it feels good to get a bid like that, I know. I recently won a pretty big county bid (for x-ray eqpt....my "other" job) that had me up against GE (the BIG GE company) and two other local companies. One local outfit was about 10% lower than me but for some reason they awarded the bid to me...maybe he withdrew, not sure. But I beat my biggest competition here by 20% (and GE was about twice the amount I bid)...so I can empathize with your 20%. It's gonna be a lot of work but, if I get all the ducks lined up right, it should make us some moola, too.

Gary maybe they threw out the low and high bids, and there you were. Nice job, good luck with it.
Bidding against GE????? Wth??
Low / high...outa here! Hadn't thought of that...could be the key.
And, OK...I did include some pictures of my "staff"....
and a bit about how we "swing".

I wonder how many bad guys walking trough the woods of Georgia tell the cops about a silent swinging man coming out of no where?

Yeah, I could not get it to embed. It was a parody of some Miley Cyrus's wrecking ball done by a construction worker.
