Chihuahua Biting an Elephant...

So today I was contacted by a guy in downtown Dallas wanting me to come by and take a look at the stuff he wanted to get rid of. Had a thick accent so it was hard to understand. I get there, and he shows me what everything there is to take out, and suddenly I feel like Patriot, except without the knowledge, experience, logistics, crew, tools, or anything else I need to get the job done.

The guy is in charge of renovating the highrise, and the owners don't want any money for the project, but also don't want to pay for it. The middleman is taking bids for who will get the job, saying the people are bidding in the ballpark of 10,000$. At 200$ a ton, I would have to move 50 tons before I start seeing a profit. And I have no idea what these components weigh.

Also, the logistics for getting the pieces out are a *****. 18th and 19th floors are to be cleared, everything chopped and stored on 18th, taken by elevator with 3000lb capacity to the basement where the pieces are taken up a set of stairs to the outside.

I'm a guy in a truck. I don't even have a trailer. I can't do this job myself, and I don't have the money for the bid. So I'm looking for suggestions as to what some of ya'll might do in this situation with this opportunity. I'd like to find some angle with this to make some money. Even if it's just getting hired onto the firm that does get the contract, or possibly hooking up with someone on this forum who would like a crack at the job.
