I know we can't go into detail but I was hoping for some general thoughts/guidance. Can be vague answers just wanting a ballpark to see if we are way off. My father and I are disagreeing about what to bid a particular job. Any ballpark answer would be helpful. Estimating about 9 hours to do it all. About 4.5 hours with 11k lb mini and about 4.5 hours with 11k lb skid steer. Job description below please. Thanks in advance!
This is kind of a 3 part job. We have to repair a leaking frost free hydrant at the fitting underground right at the base of the hydrant. I will haul in the mini and dug it out, repair the leak and cover it back up. Also will use the mini to locate a fiber optic cable where a new culvert will be put in. The fiber guys will come and do their thing then we will put in the culvert (customer will pay for) and use on site rock to set in place as part of an existing driveway. The rock is like 3+ inches which will have to be dug from an old existing arm of the drive and it is hard packed for sure. We will have to shave down the dirt bank a little leading into the ditch for the culvert with the skid steer. (Approximately a 20'x30' spot which will go from about a 0% grade to a 30% slope down to the road and back up a bit per state department guidelines for so the snow plows don't clip the culvert when they go by.) We have no material expense just labor expenses on this job running the machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
