Pricing implication of DA-stage: per §13.4 → labour + materials contingency 15% (mirror); per §13.13 → posture defensible-for-variations locked @ 95% confidence.

## Intake decisions (priority-chain auto-decided; see `_Internal/assumptions-log-2632.md`)

| Q | Decision | Source / confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Q-3 labour rate | **$85/hr blended** (TCE per §13.14, no Gladesville-specific Rate Card V1.7+; Eastern Creek V1.7 is site-specific to Eastern Creek; V1.4 TCE generic baseline) | §13.14 — 90% |
| Q-4 contingency | **Labour 15% + Materials 15% (mirror)** per §13.4 (DA pre-IFC) | §13.4 — 80% |
| Q-F1 posture | **defensible-for-variations** per §13.13 (DA pre-IFC) | §13.13 — 95% |
| Q-5 adverse weather | **Exclude as variation** per 2629 #37 (default outdoor pavement <8 weeks) | §13.3-reserved + 2629 — 90% |
| Q-6 LAFHA | **OUT** (Botany → Gladesville ~30 min via M5/Anzac Bridge ≤ 60 min one-way) | §13.1 — 95% |
| Q-F4 format | **`both`** (LoO + BoQ Response xlsx) per state.json `preferred_format_default` | §8 — locked |

## Open items flagged for Rocky-review (4)

These need a Rocky decision; orchestrator decided default but confidence below 60% OR Hermes pre-flagged. Surfaced in assumptions log batched review.

1. **Granite paving FF/6B in or out of LFCS scope?** Hermes flagged on email intake. Default: concrete subbase IN, granite paving OUT (stonework subbie). Confidence 55% — needs Rocky-confirm. ($-impact: ~$8–15k either way at $200/m² granite supply+lay or labour-only).
2. **Mesh supply (SL72 + SL82) — LFCS supply or TCE supply?** Standing context §2 default = TCE supplies all reo. RFQ BoQ has SL72/SL82 lines + separate "Reinforcement delivery" / "Reo deliveries" lines suggesting LFCS only handles delivery acceptance + placement. Default: TCE supplies; LFCS places. Confidence 70%. ($-impact: ~$3–5k mesh material if mis-priced).
3. **Concrete pump (FF/4J, FF/5F) + Concrete test (FF/4H, FF/5G) in scope per RFQ-in-writing** — overrides standing context §2 default (HC supplies plant + NATA testing). LFCS now hires pump + arranges testing. Confidence 90% (RFQ explicit). No Rocky-decision needed; just flag in assumptions log.
4. **Programme** — RFQ silent. Default Mon-Fri 7am–3:30pm. No programme intensity adjustment until confirmed.

## Risks

- **DA-stage drawings — high variation exposure.** R-series drawings ALL pre-IFC. Quantities in RFQ BoQ are TCE-derived from current DA set; final IFC drawings may shift quantities. Posture defensible-for-variations + 15% contingency mirror locked. Worker to flag any quantity discrepancy vs RFQ BoQ.
- **Rock batter inspection in geotech package** = sloping site / cut-and-fill earthworks needed before LFCS scope starts. NOT LFCS scope (earthworks by HC) but pour-readiness depends on subgrade prep being complete. Add as assumption.
- **Granite paving in BoQ** = atypical for LFCS. Confirm scope split with TCE (intake item 1).
- **Multiple combined-PDF versions** (`Civil Combined.pdf` 39 MB + `Civil Combined.pdf` 65 MB DA Docs subfolder version + `Civil Combined for DA approval Building.pdf` 2.4 MB) — possibly different revisions. Worker to identify the latest issue + flag rev.
- **Concrete grade mismatch:** road pavement N25, crossovers S32. Two grade pours — small-quantity-each. Could affect supplier minimum-load surcharge if LFCS-priced (RFQ says concrete pump + test in scope; concrete grade itself still likely TCE-supplied per §2 default unless flag 2 above resolves differently).

## Programme (TBD)

- Programme not stated in RFQ. Default assumption: Mon-Fri 7:00am–3:30pm. ~2-3 weeks total LFCS duration (subject to drawing-extract refinement).

## Next steps

1. Worker Phase 3 step 1 (drawing extract): worker reads R10-R50 + Civil Combined.pdf + Architectural + Landscape Combined + Geotech reports — extract drawing index + verify RFQ BoQ quantities against drawings.
2. Worker Phase 3 step 2 (BoQ parse): RFQ-extracted BoQ already structured (see above) — skip PDF parse; worker confirms quantities vs drawings.
3. Worker Phase 3 step 3 (bid prep): worker drafts working bid-prep spec.
4. Worker Phase 3 step 4 (Phase 0 grill): worker pre-pricing-grill on the 4 open items above + RFQ-in-writing scope changes.
5. Worker Phase 3 step 5 (first-pass take-off): worker prices with locked intake values.
6. Phase 3.5 reverse-engineer envelope (orchestrator, quarantined).
7. Phase 4 sanity-check + reveal.
8. Phase 6 submit.
