Price for me a topo of a 1200' residential street and 1 intersection for total reconstruction plan, 20 existing homes, map the 2 rod ROW & both sides 25' outside of ROW, so 85'± strip, 1' contours, surface model (i know, I know - contours are just eyewash once you build the model) all signage, trees, hedges, visible utilities. Homes are outside topo limits.

Don't need inverts/sizes on san & storm, just horizontal, as they'll be replaced.

Basically a complete topo 85' x 1200', and re-establish ROW lines.

Thanks!

SS

Sooo...

I have done a project with these specs.

The +25' on the ROW took as long as the rest of the project. In real time, this was not truly completed for years due to right of entry issues. (We provided estimates by looking over fences, etc. Too many vegetables for photo, and Lidar was rejected for some reason.)

I have no idea how much that one cost.

Not knowing what the value is to your client, it's hard to say.
8k-14k?? - depends.

A few variables you have not covered, but from the hip;I would say:
2 man crew-2 days
1 day drafting
1/2 day walk through and polish up.

Apply your rates and add 30% to cover all the hidden issues you will run into.

You're welcome

[sarcasm]OK[/sarcasm]
But I was serious. 2.5 acres topo survey = about half a day in the field.

My fees for this type of work range between $3 and $4 per linear foot (total - field, cad, PSM) depending on the amount of traffic, number of driveways, if there are a lot of driveway culverts, and the amount of vegetation/obstructions along the R/W line. Small jobs like this I would be on the higher end and then some if a lot of the items I listed apply.

Does that price include resolution of the right of way, any boundary, etc?

In the first episode of The Beverly Hillbillies there is a scene where Granny is explaining that the oil company is going to pay Jed with some new kind of money called "Millieyun dollars".

Quite often when presented with coming up with an estimate of some such job without the benefit of seeing it I think of that scene and so want to answer the request with "One millieyun dollars".

The value of the product is a tad under $10,000 but, meanwhile, some jackleg will throw out a bid of $1840.
