Hello venterprises
I tell how to price in my book.
BUT…just be careful…you’re dealing with Prevailing Wages. So…every city will dictate how much you have to pay each worker. That will effect pricing.
THEN…you must submit a Certified Payroll…which is simply this…you must prove that you paid that worker…what that City told you to pay.
NEXT…sometimes…if you do not offer Health Benefits…you must include $4.00 additional dollars.
That said…do it. I do…everyday.
NEXT…if you have a Sub…then he’s on his own to do the same…meet the standard Prevailing wage…etc. Certify Payrolls…etc.
You may fumble through it at first…but…you will get it.
NEXT…when you say Gov’t Entity…read the specs…every time. ( Unless you’re hiring a Sub. )
Sometimes…as a Striper… I’m required to add Glass beads. Sometimes…two coats…sometimes…none…sometimes 6″ line…blah blah.
And…there will be inspectors. Not a problem. These are just people too.
Again…keep going. This is the place where most people stop.
Congrats.
Dan
