Bidding on a parking lot and i need some help from you flat work gurus....

47,295 sq ft of parking lot
moderate to low amount of gum
close to 2k linier feet of curbing
3,800 sq ft side walks


the million dollar question i need to know is how long .... I don't care about pricing I know what i need to charge i just need time i have kno clue i will be throwing two 5 gpm hot water rigs at it ... with one 20 inch sc and a 28 inch sc
 
DJ, The big thing here is we all move at different speeds. It is hard to say how long it will take you. Also, where the storm drains are and how the french drains are laid out will also affect the amount of time it will take.
 
You may want to get another 20 incher if you can. As for the hours I would say you can get about 3500-4500sq.ft per hour out of those 2 machines combined, and the curbing can be done fairly easily one on the top edge and another behind on the bottom portion but clean the gully of the curbs with a SC. You may be able to take your classic and turn it sideways on the curbing and get the curb facing cleaned as well and take a little less time.


Total time figured high is 11 hrs on the flat, and another couple on the curbing.

Based on your equipment, I think:

Mobile Wash Pros is in the Ball Park with the time.

Was wondering if you could put your personal name somewhere in your Sig. or avatar.

Hey DJ, that would take us at least 14 hr's with 2 8gpm machines. Are you reclaiming? do you have a good water source?

I am thinking a bit more about it and you will definatly need 2 days, about 14hrs worth.

Thats funny, I never saw your post and we were dead on @ 14hrs :sarcastic:
 
The only problem that i can see taking him longer is the 5.5 gpm. Other than that DJ you should be capable of getting it whipped in a jippy.


Scott, we got a chance to talk, I helped Roger and Guy unload that TV from your truck, I think i sat aside your wife and you for dinner on saturday, and probably some other times in there. I remember a conversation about vendor lists and a food distribution warehouse without going into the details online.

Cool now I remember.Just trying to put faces with names on the BBS.
 
Depending on water supply for the 2 machines, the speed of the surface cleaner along with the size of the pumps, possible low spots, accumulated dirt, etc.... I would guess that it could take as long as 3 or 4 days if it is an initial cleaning.

4 days???? you should wash as quick as you roll hose LOL
 
I wish I could wash that fast but here there are so many low spots, obstacles, debris, etc... that the rinsing slows you down a lot.

If there were no dirt piles, it would go faster.
