You have to take off your DB hat when using Solr <G>... There is no problem at all having documents in the same index that are of different types. There is no penalty for field definitions that aren't used. That is, you can easily have two different types of documents in the same index.
It's all about simply populating the two types of documents with different fields. in your case, I suspect you'll have a "type" field with two valid values, "project" and "contractor" or some such. Then just attach a filter query depending on what you want, i.e. &fq=type:project or &fq=type:contractor and your searches will be restricted to the proper documents.
