These factors obviously make the field work more difficult and expensive,especially If the survey needs to be done prior to early November,when the leaves begin to Fall.Therefore I am giving you two prices par acre,depending on when the work would Be scheduled. My rates per hour are still$70.00 for field&$65.00 per my time in the offxoe. Typically I find that a wooded acre takes about 2.5 field hours($175.00)and 1.0 office Hours($240.00)which 1 round up to$250.00 when i estimate.For an open are I a, Use a figure of$150.00 per acre.I have used a ball park of 30 acres for the open area. Therefore,a purely acreage basis: 163 acres x$250.00 per acre=$40750.00 30 acres x $150.00 per acre= $4500.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED"LEAF-ONCOST $Q52:50.00 IF I CAN WAIT UNTIL AFTER,OCTOBER TO BEGIN THE WOODED AREA, I WILL CLT MY COST FOR THE WOODED AREAS BY 20%: 163&Dres x$200.00 per acre=$32600.00 30 acres x$150.00 per acre= $4500.0 TOTAL ESTTMATED "LEAF-OFF COST: $37100.00 As we discussed,if this proposal is acceptable, I would like to work closely with your Staff to begin work on the key areas first,and do the project in stages based on the The areas targeted for building sites,etc.
