Does the work fit?

What needs to be defined?

Work limits, proposed elevations and the required subgrade condition
Import and export assumptions, haul access and disposal requirements
Material specifications and bank, loose or compacted quantity basis
Topsoil, seed, straw and restoration limits where included

The proposal should identify who provides survey/layout, geotechnical recommendations and testing. Compaction criteria, unsuitable soil, moisture treatment and final acceptance need to be defined before pricing.

From rough grade to final condition

The finished ground condition belongs in the scope.

Separate Meyers examples show finish grading and stabilization. Project-specific elevations, compaction, testing, topsoil and erosion-control requirements still belong in the proposal.

Start with your site

What must this site be ready for?

Start with the next construction phase: access, grades, utilities, drainage, stabilization and the work another contractor will receive.

What could change the scope?

Existing utilities, soil information, earthwork quantities, testing requirements and final elevations affect a sitework proposal. Mark assumptions instead of treating them as settled.

Common questions

What owners and contractors ask.

Can you finish the site after demolition?

Yes. Final scopes can include foundation removal, imported fill, grading, topsoil, tracking, seeding, straw, and cleanup.

What information is needed for earthwork pricing?

A site plan, geotechnical information when available, proposed elevations, material requirements, access constraints, and export or import quantities are helpful.

Plan the material as part of the scope

Keep soil, concrete and vegetative material distinct in the scope. Confirm onsite handling, offsite acceptance, haul access and the condition required by the next phase.
