What goes into a commercial paving budget?

Put the guidance to work

Ask each bidder to identify quantities, inclusions, exclusions and allowances. Separate base rehabilitation, asphalt work, concrete, markings and traffic control. Keep a contingency for conditions that cannot be confirmed before excavation.

Build a site-specific scope

A site assessment should connect visible symptoms with drainage, loading and the underlying structure. Confirm quantities, materials, work windows and acceptance requirements before comparing proposals. General guidance cannot replace project-specific investigation or required engineering.
