QUICK ANSWERS
What is a scope buffer?

A buffer adds room for normal project uncertainty. Keep the scope and revision limits clear in the quote so the price is easy to explain.

Can I use this for a fixed-price quote?

Yes. Use the suggested project price as a starting point, then describe exactly what is included and what counts as extra work.
