Expiration of Proposal: Because of volatile materials costs, quotations are firm for only

in excess of this amount per ton, or procedures that require additional labor or services,
will be added to the cost of the project.

handled at cost plus 15% plus a project management charge. Further, allowances are

Actual costs, plus 15°.'o and a project management charge will be used to adjust
allowances as work is completed.
