You got our email with all the specifications for the project. We'll be accepting bids until noon on Tuesday,if you have any questions between now and then, please let me know. Actually, I did have a question. We'd like to know what you had in mind for a budget on this project. We're hoping to put together a really competitive bid, but at the same time, we'd like to hit your target price, too. I understand. But unfortunately, it is our policy not to disclose our bottom line. You can be assured that price is a weighty consideration when we review other proposals, but we also consider other elements, including design and practicality. We also give weight to the reputation of the submitting company. Do you have any price range? Is there any way you can give me an idea of what direction to go or how high is too high? We're just looking for a reasonable price according to the specifications in our project blueprint. That's all I can say.
