That is often a matter of opinion and will depend on the attitude of your municipality.Most municipalities do not require neighborhood approval, but will offer the public opportunities to provide input which will be considered.

Cannot thank everyone enough for all the replies—some differing opinions, which I appreciate!

If you ever need a second opinion of ARV's in The Springs, I work with many investors and could give you an honest opinion of values in the area. 

Even if they could save 5-10% on that $800 bid, which is $40-$80, if it took more than 1-2 hours they'd be losing money doing it because their time is worth at least $40/hour.In our opinion, it really depends on the level of urgency and the size of the bid.The more urgency, like no hot water, the less time the PMC has to get multiple bids.The bigger the bid, the more likely it is an owner should expect multiple bids.An owner has to be realistic, understand and accept these limitations. 

Once again, just my opinion.
