Yes—two or three comparable bids. Give each contractor the same plan and spec so prices are apples to apples. Evaluate beyond total cost: base depths, plant sizes, controller/valve brands, warranty length, schedule, and cleanup. Discard vague proposals. The best bid is the clearest on scope and quality, not just the lowest price.
