Scope of work
Grading, storm drainage, sewer, water, clearing, curb and gutter, pavement markings, and asphalt paving.
Rough grade and finish grade to the elevations on the civil plan. Cut, fill, slope, and a building pad that sends water away from the structure instead of into it.
Matthew McClain is the surveyor on staff. The grade is checked against the drawings.
Catch basins, manholes, pipe, and the structures that get surface water off the lot. The inlet elevation and the curb elevation are the same conversation.
If the water misses the structure, it sits in the stone and the asphalt fails from underneath. Drainage is not a cleanup trade at the end of the job.
Sanitary sewer installed to the plan: trench, pipe, structures, and backfill a paving crew can build on. The line has to hold grade, and the trench has to come back tight.
We coordinate the sewer corridor with storm, water, and the finished surface so the later trades are not digging up a pipe that was set in the wrong place.
Water main and service lines in the same dirt as the rest of the utilities. Depth, separation, and the path back to finished grade are part of the bid, not a field surprise.
Send the utility sheets with the grading plan. Pricing one without the other is how corridors get crossed twice.
Clearing and grubbing so the grading crew has dirt, not timber, under the tracks. Brush, trees, and stumps come off before the cut and fill starts.
Concrete curb and gutter that holds the edge of the pavement and carries stormwater to the inlets. Line, grade, and a face the asphalt can lock against.
This is where the grading plan becomes something a driver can see. If the curb is wrong, the lot drains wrong.
Striping on finished asphalt: stalls, arrows, stops, crosswalks, and the legends the plan calls for. The lot has to read the way it was drawn.
Markings are the last thing the public sees, and the first thing a punch list mentions.
Asphalt placed on a subgrade that was built for it. The paving crew inherits the grade, the stone, the curb, and the drainage. Those have to be right before the first truck dumps.
Roads, drives, and lots. If you want the whole site package priced together, say so on the bid form and attach the paving sheets with the grading plan.
