A0109

ELIN No.: A0109 Remove existing metal scupper lining and replace with new metal scupper lining (Copper) mentions a quantity of 300 EA. In past experience the scupper repairs are usually 1 to 4 at a time for a task order not the 300 EA at one time. Can the quantities be adjusted to reflect more accurate past performance requirements. Example if you did 300 at one time there would be a cost savings VS doing 4 at one time. There is most likely not 300 scuppers being replaced at one time. Can we adjust the quaintly to a more realistic number like 30?
