There's a new sporting complex/park being built localy soon and council will be specifiying in tender forms that they want square meterage and linear meterage rates for mowing and edging along with afew other sites from what I've found out.
Has anybody had experiance with this way of qouting?
Seems like it will be very hard to come up with 1 sqaure and 1 linear rate that will cover the entire job. IE...Slopes, Trees etc etc etc.......!!!!!
Speaking to some people I know from larger Lawn and Landscape mobs down in Sydney I've been told that you come up with one figure for each and take the good with the bad. Seems a very sensible way of looking at it but just wonder if anybody else has any first hand experiance with this?
I'm looking at probably submiting a bid of 27c per sqaure meter at the moment and 8c per linear when the time comes.
Anybody got any expreiance with this meterage stuff?
