1. Due to being mostly heterogeneous materials, the proposed prices are MINIMUM.
able to be increased based on the level of difficulty of the essay.
2. If the tests include mobilization outside the Laboratory, the cost of
mobilization and travel expenses for the personnel, as well as the conditions for the execution of the trial.
3. Prices do not include value-added tax (VAT).
4. The prices include the preparation and delivery of the technical report.
5. The category 'MISCELLANEOUS' refers to work that is not covered by the current fee schedule.
and its cost will be determined by the Director, after evaluation, depending on the complexity of the work
