Lighting Control
Follow-up to 2026-01-09_10-00-03#Lighting Control. Relevant to lighting-controls-takeoff.
Josh stated my takeoff was correct per drawings, but that concessions would need to be made for the scope as sold by pdi-bid-estimating. At his direction I've removed dimming from BOH and corridor spaces. The remaining takeoff will remain, a $4/sf budget for a lighting control system for those areas was added.
I stated that our proposal was deceptive for stating lighting control was included to which Josh agreed.
2021 IECC applies.
Josh wants pdi-pre-takeoff-confirmation to ask if lighting control is "as shown" or "to code", I objected that "to code" as interpreted by Bid is not necessarily to code in truth. Truly, they need to just tell us what they included. The customer would appreciate it too, I'm sure.
Bonus Incentivized Inter-Departmental Conflict
During the review a project manager came to Josh
to ask for a revision to a WBS
[!aside] Sunset WBS: Engineer did not approve aluminum EMT
Bid receives bonuses based on awarded GP (markup-vs-margin), thus they are incentivized to underestimate cost. pdi-operations receives bonuses based on positive GP variance, thus they are incentivized to overestimate cost.
