Inquiry #1: 1) I am not familiar with the workings of Time-Related Overhead. The project is estimated by Engineering to be 90wkg days.
If I insert overhead X 90 wkg days, what happens if the project completes in fewer? Would the contractor only be paid for those days, or for the full 90 days?

2) I noticed some of the locations already have solar panels & cabinets installed. Are they not reusable?

2)New solar panels are required. Refer to Project Plans and Special Provisions. Existing cabinets are to be reused.
