Electrical Bid- Is this Normal?

[Jonathan Santiago]

I am currently getting bids for a project that I am working on which is a 3-unit home that currently has no electricity and has been abandoned for several years. I just received my bid from an electrician which I was expecting to see a detailed line item bid and it instead has 4 lines which said:

1. Bring house up to code

2. Bring the service up to code

3. 4 recessed in each kitchen

4. Demo existing wires

$35,000.

Is this normal from electricians on such an extensive job? This house likely needs to be re-wired and I was expecting to see more detail about outlet placements, lights under the cabinets in the kitchens, etc. This seems extremely vague and I feel like it could lead to misunderstandings due to lack of knowledge of each others expectations. 

If anyone has any insight on dealing with big electrical jobs I would love to hear how you go about your bid and proceeding further. 

Thanks.
