Quote for Security system

[James Schass]

I was quoted 30k for a security system from Access Control Technologies which installs hardware from PTISecurity. They did say it was worst case scenario and it was sight unseen. I am going to have them come out to actually walk the facility, but I’m just wondering how do I sort through what is necessary and what is just mark up and add ons to pad their profits. The quote is as follows:

Ok... what do I need and what is fluff? What and how can I negotiate to bring down some costs?

Any insight is much appreciated from this great community.
