Discussion was had and some follow up questions were asked which Mr. Collinsworth will get back to us with. Once we ask for an option, Carlisle will then have to approve the job. Options are currently quoted at $115,536, $152,227, and $202,502.

We are also requesting a quote for the full roof, so it is replaced at one time.
