I was asked to bid on plowing 16 miles of road, and some parking areas on a 16 mile estate. The estate as a full fledge gounds crew, whole takes care of the grounds, and private 9 hole golf course on the estate. However come November 15 they all go packing on vacation. They have a dump truck and pick up, that could plow only sit idel all winter. <p>The people have money and lots of it. They want the roads plowed every two inches, the plows must stay on the pavement at all times, and only a load can push snow on the lawns. All snow must be removed to bare tar, and to the edge every storm. They said that they may provide an upfront bonus for a 5 year contract, their bonus is a long the lines of equipment. My F650 would be too big, so i guess i would need a 550 and a v-box on site at all times.<p>The job seams like a pain in the but. Only i am going to work on a bid for useing pure salt pre wet with mag cloride. One truck sits on site at all times, and a cat 914 loader their at all times for all the detial work.<p><br>16 Miles of roads and probably 10 acres of lots is a lot of area to cover. I also would want on site storage for salt, and the loader.<p>If i could get a 10 year contract on the place, i might jump on it. Only it is going to require 2 peices of equipment their at all times. <p>Geoff<br><p><font size="1">Edited by: GeoffDiamond
