I am preparing a bid for a retirement community. I need to install mulch. The only problem is that there is 4 inches of snow on the ground and we are expected to get another 4 inches by tomorrow. The bid has to be in by March 1st. And unless we get some kind of heat wave I would be willing to bet that there is going to be snow on the ground in march. I went over there today to take a look around, there were some bare spots to see the mulch beds but not enough to take any accurate measurements. I have an idea that the job is going to entail about 75 yards. Now to my question. I cant give an accurate bid on the mulch should I let it known that I charge $65 per yard installed and delivered. and that could take up to 100 yards. How am I supposed to bid if I cant see what I am bidding on. They should no how much mulch it is going to take from last years contract. A little help would be great but I don't want to cross over and lines. I don't know what to do. Be up front with them or take a risk that I might get burned on the mulch Job and hope I make it up somewhere else. Thanks for the help!! -MIKE-
