that the project requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice,
these contracts include back-up documentation of costs; invoices would include number
of hours worked and billing rate by position (and company (or subcontractor) timekeeping
or payroll records), material or equipment invoices, and other reimbursable
documentation for the project.

inventory or cost verification).

sufficient funds are included in their budget(s).
