To place a nail at centerline of a new asphalt road, every 100', for 10.5 miles of road. You would be given centerline data and control points. Flat, open, straight. Would use GPS for all of it.
Tell us about traffic on the road. Is traffic control needed?
With or without traffic?
And, Why?

If there isn't a lot of traffic to deal with 16 to 20 hours.
Depends? 100'? 100.0'? 100.00'? 1+00.00'?
What is the criteria?
Must each centerline point be determined by the edges of pavement or the painted centerline?
Must the 100' PKs be at 100.00' or evene more work is required if at 1+00.00 stations, which requires curve design data?
If stationing is required the centerline must first be surveyed with traverse control, designed and then staked.
You would definitely want a nail shooter in the survey rod.
BTW, why is it necessary in a New Asphalt Road?

You are proposing to set about 550 nails. I'd guess they could be set at the rate of about 10-15 per hour by a two man crew. Subtract time for travel, breaks, and for traffic control. You should be able to set 100 in a day, more or less, in good weather. So it's 5-6 days (round up). But if you have to drive for hours to get to the site, or stand by while traffic control is moved, or deal with crappy weather, etc., etc....
> If there isn't a lot of traffic to deal with 16 to 20 hours.
That would be 275 nails a day. That's one every 1 min 45 sec for 8 hours without a break. I think that is a bit ambitious.
Depends? 100'? 100.0'? 100.00'? 1+00.00'?
Centerline has already been established and alignment will be loaded into data collector. Two lane, rural highway. Nails are to be every 100'. Do not need to hit any special stations, except a few (maybe 10) PI's. Assume no traffic.
I'm with JB here.
Why?
Figure 1 mile/day, shoot for 2 miles/day.
"Why?"
To make some money.........what's the difference?
A simpler scope of work I never heard.
30 hours, assuming no/very little traffic.
bid 40 hrs and work to the money CALL IT SAY $4000--you should be ok-TDD
Under good GPS conditions (if it would meet job spec) I could do it in 2 days. I would need good signage on road and 3 men. One man flagging, one man running GPS, and one man shooting the nails in the road (not pounding). We would switch tasks and get it done. It would take a lot of joking and kidding around, but 2 longdays to finish.
I have heard Surveying referred to as the second oldest profession. It appears from this thread it can actually be listed as both the first and second oldest profession.
Assuming minimal traffic, wide open skies, etc....
We perform similar work at a clip of somewhere around 15,000' per day with a two man crew.
So what's that- 3 and a half days...call it four if you'd like. Naturally these are 8 hour days, though many of us generally work longer than that.
Low ball your way in write a list of exclusions
and turn it into the by the hour if you are a good BS artist
hey its construction
I was advised by big mouth above on this one

LOL!
Depends? 100'? 100.0'? 100.00'? 1+00.00'?
What's a "nail shooter in the survey rod" and where can I get one?
