    If this is a U.S. gocernment agency then you need to look into things a little further. You may be subject to the "Davis-Bacon Act". It is mandatory you follow those guidelines if you have employees.

    There may be requirements for safety (correct) provide a MSDS for approval.

    Pricing is always your decision in the end. I suggest the average pricing I use in the Chicago area as follows:

    Strip/refinish (3-4 coats): $0.25
    Scrub/refinish (3-4 coats): $0.15
    Buffing: $0.05
