Commercial Sitework and Land Development

How is commercial sitework different from excavation and grading?

Commercial sitework coordinates multiple site-preparation scopes, which may include clearing, excavation, pad construction, drainage, utility work and aggregate placement. Excavation and grading focuses on cutting, filling, moving and shaping the earth. Specify whether you need a combined sitework proposal or an earthwork-only price.

Can a bid separate base scope from alternates?

Bid alternates and scope clarification are available. Identify the base scope, alternate quantities and any exclusions in the request so the proposal can distinguish them instead of treating all work as one undifferentiated quantity.

What affects mobilization planning?

Project location, equipment access, haul distances, site conditions, material movement and the construction schedule are reviewed for each request. Share access restrictions and trade sequencing with the plans; a start date is not established by submitting an inquiry.

• Excavation and grading — For a defined cut-and-fill, pad or grading scope.
• Land clearing — For vegetation, stump and root removal ahead of earthwork.
• Roads and aggregate — For access roads, construction entrances and laydown surfaces.
