Comparing Complex HOA Vendor Contracts

HOA boards are legally obligated to obtain multiple vendor proposals for landscaping, pool maintenance, or snow removal. Comparing contracts is difficult because they often combine fixed retainers and variable hourly rates.

Fixed Fees vs Hourly Extra Limits

For example, Vendor A charges a higher monthly retainer but low hourly rates for extra work. Vendor B charges a cheap monthly fee but high hourly rates. This comparer computes total yearly costs based on estimated extra work, highlighting the most economical vendor.
