our client (a DOT) requested a quote to replace some equipment at the facility. the quote was substantial ($250k). we presented our client representative with a quote, but the client only passed along the subcontractor costs to their senior management. senior management approved these subcontractor costs, but the figure presented to the client's senior management did not include the cost for our labor and our standard subcontractor markup. we have a good working relationship with the client, and our project is doing well financially. issue: this is leverage/change-order work. the company expects a certain level of profit on change -order work, and we would essentially be performing this work at-cost. our primary client representative will be in an awkward position if they need to ask their senior management personnel for more money. How should I proceed
