Request for Cost Estimates

Project requests fall into two categories, under and over $100,000. Projects under $100,000 are designed and managed in-house with local approval. Those over $100,000 require final approval at the state level. These will require much longer lead time. For a price quotation on a project, please fill out this CUBO 700 form (Microsoft Word or compatible word processor required). After completing and saving the form, attach it to an e-mail addressed to fmojobreq@clemson.edu.

Some notes about Actual and Fixed Costs:

*** Actual Cost -- The work performed will be billed at the actual cost. This total may be more or less than the estimated cost of the project.

*** Fixed Cost -- The requestor agrees to pay for a detailed estimate based on a well defined Job Scope. This estimate will become the "fixed cost" once the user agrees to proceed with the job. The work will be billed at the "fixed cost" regardless of the actual cost unless the scope is altered by the user. If user changes in the job scope are required, the fixed cost will be adjusted to reflect the changes. In order to minimize additional charges, the user should limit scope changes after the work has commenced. The entire fixed cost amount will be billed to the requesting department during the month of project approval. Additional costs based on change orders will be billed in the month the change order is approved by the department head.
