how much to bid for alleyways

A customer needs 2 different alleys plowed that are 3 blocks apart.

Both are roughly 400 yards long and 15 feet wide and both have a T off that is roughly 250 yards long and 10 feet wide.

How much should I charge for this?

Thanks in advance

What are you planning on plowing these with?

How much do you need to make with that machine per hour?

How long do you figure it will take you?

I have a F-250 Super Duty with a 8'6" Western Pro Plow. There is no drop off area to put the snow, however from what I have read the snow is just pushed to the sides of the alley next to the garages and such.

It will probably take me 30 to 35 minutes to complete this. However, I am a newbie at this and am not sure how accurate my time estimate is. I have a lot of heavy equipment experience but am new to the plowing world.

I hate plowing alleys, last time i did it, i got a piece of metal in my tire
so beware of the risks of getting a flat tire and include that in your cost.

How wide is this alley? Hope you do get turned sideways in it. Don't let this happen to you!

The most important lesson from that video is to NOT let Elizabeth Hurley out of the truck
