Clarification questions
Company A
Could you confirm whether your price includes necessary permits and inspections?
UnresolvedCompany B
Is removal and disposal of the existing equipment included in this amount?
UnresolvedWhat this means
The quotes contain different documented warranty terms and incomplete details about some work. The price difference alone does not establish which proposal is better. Both companies should clarify the listed questions before a decision.
