[CAUT] becoming a university tech. HELP!

[daniel carlton]

hi all
a university in my area has put out a request for proposals for  
pianos tuning services, and i'd like to put in a bid, but i'm not  
really sure how to put the proposal together. they have a format for  
how to put the proposal together, but i'm confused about some of the  
things they are asking for, or maybe it's just the way they're  
wording it.
the part that confuses me the most is the cost proposal.
"please provide...an itemized list of billable parts, compilation  
expenses and option cost separately."
i've never used this terminology before. what exactly might billable  
parts include? what in the world are compilation expenses? what is  
option cost?
they also want me to include gross receipt tax. does that mean to  
simply tell them what the current tax rate is and that i will apply  
it to whatever work i do?

i appreciate any input from anybody.

thanks

dc
