Our OPINION:1) Adding license contractors should be no big deal if they cooperate with supplying copy of license, proof of insurance (and add PMC as additionally insured) and sign a W-9.2) Charging for estimates is not typically done - unless owner wants multiple bids beyond 2.3) Often doesn't make sense to waste time & effort getting a 2nd bid for specific items PMC does often or for bids under $x amount.Otherwise a 2nd bid should be done.4) How do they assess issues then?

Feel free to contact me and can supply any contacts you may need.

The supply chain will need a decade to find new sourcing.  

@Jason Taken, with higher interest rates and increased supply cost, has there been any changes in the strategy?
