How to Bid Excavating and Grading

What happens here

Compile all estimated costs into a detailed proposal. For this example parking lot, the total would be $3,900 for subbase grading, $3,700 for filter fabric, and $7,854 for importing Class 5 material (which includes the material cost and delivery/profit), and $8,500 for grading and compacting the Class 5 material, totaling $23,954. Present this itemized proposal to the customer. A transparent, detailed proposal builds confidence with the client and protects the contractor from unforeseen costs, making it more likely to secure future work.

Goal: Create a clear, itemized proposal and present it to the client.
