I have plenty of experience working with contractors. I am a contractor. Many of my friends are contractors. When there is an abundance of work they'll bid high. If they don't get the job no big deal. If they get paid well then why not take it on, push lesser paying jobs back. Both times I heard this phrase they were making a big deal about nothing and I got someone to do it much cheaper.
