Job Was Given To A Cheaper Bid

[cabinetman]

Years ago, being a large shop I would receive requests to bid large jobs for both private concerns and the utilities. This one was for an office complex full of furniture for what was then Southern Bell. I bid the job figuring only one mans labor, seconds in the materials and no premiums for delivery or installation. I received a "Thank You for your bid" letter, and they stated it was given to a bidder within their budget. Go figure.

Hey Mike,

You are the winner (you don't have to lose money on the job)...
they are the loser (they will not get your quality)...
