Cross Country ROW
Most of my work is small stuff localized to a few miles. My longest right-of-way survey was probably 40 miles. I’m looking at bids for a 410 mile route, which is something I have no experience with, and I am surprised about the swing in prices. This is preliminary only, topo and boundary and preparation of all plats and permits to get to property acquisition and/or condemnation (construction and as-built not included). The rates vary from as low as $1.90 per foot to $2.45. I suppose there are a lot of variables to consider in the fact that it does cross one state border and has both open prairie and heavy woods. I’m trying to get a better understanding of the scope of the project and what it takes to compete on these types of projects. Just looking at the bid packages has opened my eyes to things I don’t have to consider on my normal projects.
