Mike, forgive me, but your profile says you've been in biz 12 years.
is that carpet cleaning biz???
you don't know roughly how many sf pr hour you can clean?
I'm not jumping you, Bro, i promise, but figure that one out and you'll have an idea of what to charge pr sf based on what "you" want to make per hour.
I don't know what they get for com in Tampa, but we don't do a lot com cause it's tough to get what I want.
I'd be more inclined to bid higher too.
cause cleaning a "highrise" with a TM is a PITA
..L.T.A.
