Records needed for this question
Route survey, permit invoices, escort logs and approved quote.
How to investigate
Check which services were actually required and whether pass-through charges include an authorized markup.
An illustrative review decision
A permitted route may change after an obstruction is discovered. Preserve approval of the revised route and its incremental services so a legitimate variation is distinguishable from an unsupported pass-through charge.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
A route change can create valid extra costs that are absent from the original estimate.
The result to retain
A route-specific permit and escort cost schedule.
