Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Budget proposals
Catalan term or phrase: Percentatge de Baixa
In the budget proposals for constructing a building (in the costs section). This is mentioned in a list.

CONTEXT:
"PROPOSTA DEL PERCENTATGE DE BAIXA"
Preu màxim de negociació: XXXXX EUROS, I.V.A. no inclòs
Proposta econòmica: XXXXX EUROS, I.V.A. no inclòs ***Percentatge de baixa: 0%***

"Baixa" normally implies de-registering. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Suggestions?
