Site preparation through finished surfaces

For a new building or redevelopment, we coordinate clearing and stripping, building-pad earthwork, utility trenches, storm drainage, backfill, aggregate placement and pavement preparation. For an operating property, the scope can focus on drainage repairs, parking areas, access roads or grading. Send the civil plans and target schedule to Shawn at 315-593-8448.

Start with the limits of work

A useful site proposal starts with the civil drawings and the boundary between sitework, the building contractor and specialty trades. Identify clearing limits, demolition, finished grades, utility connection points and pavement limits. We review the package for work that can be coordinated together and identify items that need a separate price or clarification.

Plan the sequence before mobilization

Clearing and erosion controls lead into bulk earthwork, underground installation, backfill, subgrade preparation and pavement work. Occupied properties may need temporary access, staged deliveries or phased parking. Include these requirements with your invitation so the proposed construction sequence reflects how the property will operate.

Make alternate prices comparable

Ask for separate prices for base work, asphalt, imported fill, exported material and restoration when those quantities are uncertain. A lump sum should identify the drawings and addenda used, the included quantities or limits, and the treatment of unsuitable soil. This gives the owner a usable scope instead of a number that changes when work starts.

What affects the price?

Earthwork balance, utility depth, aggregate quantities, pavement area and required phases drive the package price. Comparing the same drawings and alternates helps owners distinguish a scope gap from a real saving.

Prepare the details for a written estimate.

Project questions

Can Lindsley quote a civil subcontract package?

Yes. Send the bid invitation and identify the portions you want priced, such as earthwork, drainage, utilities, aggregate, trucking or paving. We can review a complete package or a defined subcontract scope.

Does a complete site package include building construction?

Building construction, engineering and specialty systems must be identified separately. The written proposal defines exactly what is included; the phrase complete sitework does not add unspecified trades.
