Greetings. You appear to want to know why a bill of quantities would not be optional in certain contracts. In New York, a BOQ may not be optional because you are at the bidding stage and the BOQ may be required for the developer or other purchaser of your services to determine who to award the project. If you are beyond the bidding stage and are at the contract stage, then the BOQ fixes the prices under the contract (if a fixed or firm BOQ rather than an estimated or approximate), and exposes the supplier or service provider to a breach of contract if the values are exceeded and payment is nevertheless demanded. Please contact a New York lawyer for further information. Good luck.
