Okay need some help. I'm gearing up for a job that entails land clearing, something that I have done but don't really specialize in, i've cleared our farm, but haven't done a commercial job.
I have a kobelco 160 excavator, and access to bulldozer. The job is in Harris County outside of Houston's city limit. It is a 5.5 acre tract heavily wooded area but the job its self is only about 5 acres, It has about 50 big pines ( not really enough to call in a logger....) and has alot of smaller trees. Also the area is on 59 frontage rd, intersecting with a small rd. The other two sides have large drainage ditches, that im not messing with, they are cleared and have grass for 15ft from the edge of the woods to the channels. There are a few large trees that are about 15ft away from the power lines on the frontage rd.
Sorry that i don't have pics up.... I know that it would be helpful, sorry. (hopefully i described it well)
Okay here is the deal, he wants to have the lot cleared so that he can start building on it and put up a new car dealership. There is No driveways, but i think i can get my machinery unloaded on the small rd next to it.
So no stumps, nothing left behind totally cleared and rough leveled.
questions:
Permits....SW3p... silt fences ( im not building anything, just clearing) what do i need?
what should I charge/bid ( Please break it down like i'm a kindergardener)
The guy is pretty flexible and I can do it different ways, So any suggestions?
sorry for such a long post but trying to be specific.
