Company #2 quoted/bid the same defined job (Option A) at $2626. To add third lane (Option B) is an extra $1520 Total bid for A+B = $4146.

I have emailed the two companies and one has responded back (Company #2). He did not have an explaination as to why there was such a price range between the two Option A quotes. He offered to reduce his Option A bid by $150. Still waiting for Company #1 email response.

And just looking at this further, I wrote on my question to the forum the difference in bid was $1600. I just realized that my math is wrong - I apologize. The difference is $1176.

As a new homeowner, its my goal to approach my renovation projects as educated as possible so to make the best decisions possible with hiring the right contractors for my job, but that will also fit into my (limited) budget. I believe I'm on the right track, however, getting bids that vary so greatly back from contractors, as well as, being told by another company they don't want to bid because they aren't looking for work at this time, is very frustrating to this newbie. I appreciate the unbiased/general feedback I am receiving from this forum group.
