Construction Staking Estimate
I’ve been asked by a local contractor to provide staking estimates for 2 TxDOT projects. They are both fairly small projects.
So I go to the TxDOT online plans to have a look.
First off, they are all .tif images…..individual sheets. Bummer. Now, after having slowly clicking through these things, it is apparent that they are going with a new sort if “minimalist” approach for creating construction plans. I will spend all day trying to put some numbers on this, and MAY get it done.
You want to know about traffic control, signage, illumination? Plenty of that in there.
Want to stake the proposed roadway? Good luck with that.
If it weren’t for such a good client, I’d be tempted to just turn it down. I really wish they had someone with a little survey knowledge to provide some input on these things.
