County Contract

JL Pressure Washing
I have a great opportunity and I need some help figuring things out. For the past couple years I've done assortted pressure washing for the county airport, Its no JFK or anything but theres a ton of buildings, concrete etc etc. The Chief of Maint. likes our work, but everything has to go out for bid, per county.

Ive missed a couple jobs because I was higher bid, luckily on 2 seperate specialty jobs the PW contractors that won the bids couldnt do the job and I ended up getting the job at my price anyway.

Today I met with the Cheif Of Maint to look at a building and then after we talked for a while, he told me he's been trying to figure in his head for awhile how he (the county) could put us under contract, so he doesnt have to go through the bidding process and he get us and he knows we can handle all his PWing - WOW GREAT -

We talked for a while and the problem is he needs scope of work with some kind of rates. As he and I talked we have no problem coming up with a sq ft rate for flat work, but how can I give hime rates say for buildings when there are dozens of buildings and many are different kinds of surfaces, with some being more difficult than others. Wether its pollution, mold, mildew, effore, soot etc etc etc and some are block, painted metal, baked finishes etc etc etc.

I was thinking an hourly rate, the problem is to maneuver this through the county process and to be able for him to get this under contract for 2-4 years we have to come up with some rates, which we both think might be kind of impossible

He wants us and we want the county, He's been with the county for over 20 years so he's not just looking for the best deal , he wants the best contracor

Help is there any way we can do this contract where if I run into a real problem building I dont lose. Some buildings will be just splash & dash and others may be full restoration chems, concrete flat work no problem

This is a GREAT opportunity but how can we get it worked out

Any help please

"Some buildings will be just splash & dash and others may be full restoration chems, concrete flat work no problem"

Run a two to three teir platform.
1. Splash and dash
2. In depth cleaning
3. Complete restoration.

Each will be an hourly rate with add ons.
1. needs man hours + soaps and solutions
2. needs man hours + soaps and solutions + PPE
3. needs man hours + soaps solutions and chemicals + extensive safety and PPE + safety supervisor.
on top of this add for insurance, wear and tear and so on.

You and the Chief of Maintenance discuss and you show him the differance of each teir if needed and have him indicate which building he would like under each teir. His say so will go a long way in this. Of course put this all in your wright up, including how the both of you came to the conclution of what teir to put each building.

hope this makes since to you if not feel free to call me.

Hey Bruce how have you been?

Im thinking like that but I just dont know if they'll do man hr type set up, But I see no other way to do it

Anybody else have any ideas????????????

This will be a sweet gig if done properly. There a lot of stuff to be cleaned at this airport on and off property, plus it keeps me on the list for other county jobs

HELP

Hey Jeff,

How 'bout a daily rate? 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full days. Every estimate you give will be one of 4 prices, but can vary depending on how much work there is. Assume your daily rate is for 2 people, so you can add days if you use more people. So, even though the job may only take one day, if you had 4 people on site, you would bill for 2 days.

Another possible solution: Assess all that needs to be done, calculate the price, then divide by an average sq ft. Some structures may pay more or less than your normal rate, but it will average out.

This is a nice problem to have!

Good thoughts there John. Ill run this and some other ideas by him. Its something about getting this under contract, he know whats needed but has to do it just right for the county to approve it without competitive bidding. Im pretty sure we'll be able to work it out. I hope
 
Jeff I am doing pretty good.

John has a good idea. combine my teir idea and his average and give it to him that way.
 
Jeff,
Give me a call. I think that I might be able to help you out.

Can't give away all my secrets.
