It's an estimate in the pay item description.

Actually you just pointed out to me that we had another sod pay
item, I was not aware and obviously did not see this other pay item.
Where did you get the 7781sy quantity from on the lump sum pay item 147?
This would put their unit price at $2.15/sy which is really cheap so I
want to verify this quantity. If the 7781sy is correct then you are
correct we have nothing else to talk about it is covered under the
contract, I guess I just missed this item.

Marty,
I’m trying to work out this change order before I leave for
vacation. I’m confused on the sod quantity issue. Our contract
documents have two pay items for sod. Item 147 is a lump sum “block
sodding”, with an estimated quantity of 7,781 square yards. Pay item
number 262 is for “turf – common Bermuda”, with a quantity of 324 SY.
In addition, we added 838 square yards of “turf – common Bermuda” as
part of change order number 5 for the parking lot.
This means we have a total contract quantity of sod of
approximately 8,943 Square yards. Since item 147 is listed a lump sum,
I have no intention of dickering over a minor quantity discrepancy. If
you can substantiate a difference of 10% or greater over the lump sum
amount, we can continue the conversation, but what you’ve submitted so
far shows less than half of the contract amount.
I’ll send a preliminary change order over tomorrow for your
review. In the meantime, if you have additional sod measurements you
want me to consider, please send them asap.

I will attach Superscapes field measurements and bring you the
additional ones that I did today as I cannot scan them in color.
