This is how I usually handel this:

"The following is a budgetary estimate for the electric in (location). $25,000-$32,000.

Owner to specify all equipment, light fixtures, HVAC and other needed loads before a firm bid can be provided.

We look forward to working with you, call with questions."


This way if it is a legitimate request, you're not out of the game yet. As far as you know, one of your competitors may come up with the layout, and then you can bid that.

Don't spend too much time on it.

But I don't see anything wrong with being as vague as they are.
