tests, Whitaker Laboratory recommends budgeting ±$13,533.00 for Special Inspection Services. Additional services outside the above scope will result in additional charges. Please note, scheduling multiple tasks during any given trip can greatly reduce the overall costs. Whitaker Laboratory as noted previously has used an assumed construction schedule to help arrive at the above estimated budget. Without knowing the actual extent to which testing will be requested, (i.e. construction schedule and number of trips) an absolute testing total cannot be provided. The number of failing tests and the time of day testing is performed are also unknown factors which contribute to fluctuations in total price. As such, actual billing 6 of 11 will be performed in accordance with our standard unit pricing. See the attached pricing schedule for the hourly rates and unit prices, which will be used in the billing process. Testing and/or inspections will not be performed unless they are specifically requested by an authorized contractor, subcontractor or owner representative. We will be relying on on-site personnel to notify us when testing is required. Overall, the actual extent in which testing is requested will determine the overall testing bill. Therefore, the individuals responsible for scheduling our services should be familiar with the estimated number of trips outlined in our proposal in an effort to limit expenses.
