Those scope details matter in addition to the versioned regional market adjustment shown in the planning ranges.

For Waco, TX, add a written comparison line for "Local code compliance needs" and the project option "Chirping and nuisance-alarm diagnosis". That line should show what is included now, what depends on evaluation, and what would require a documented change to the proposed total.
