Put simply, deck replacement on a Marina District job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. Budgeting a Marina District replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. On most jobs, phasing a large Marina District building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole work at once.
