I am bidding on a job for a small town. It has 8 differwnt locations. These are the locations and how much I would charge as if they were separate residential lots
Small cemetary...$75
Small historic home $35
Fire station...$35
Rescue squad building ..$35
water tower $40
Boy scout building $30
community building $40
vacant lot...$25
This is my first time bidding and I really would like to get it. I feel I could do these in one day if weather permits. I have time built up at my job so if I need to leave a little early a couple of days out of the week it won't be a problem. During the summer we are off on Fridays. Do I need to quote the numbers listed above or do I need to add in gas, taxes, equipment..etc? Thanks in advance...

How big is the Cemetary? How many stones? We mow 10 of them. Towns very rarely pay to much for them. We cut ours every 2 weeks avg 14 cuts a year. Also how big are the other lots? Keep in mind municipalities often want the lowest price.

It's taken us 3 yrs to get the municipality we mow to agree on a more fair price. We always answer when or if they call. Keep them happy and give people NO reasons to complain and they'll be good to you.
