The acreage
Acreage sets the lawn line. Pool, porter, and staffing work is bought in visits, stops, and shifts. The acre figure is a takeoff from the map — a not-to-exceed on the ground a vendor could be asked to keep.
The estimate
VendoRFP builds a starting number from this scope. Vendors then price the same scope and propose on it, and the proposal your community accepts is the price.
The RFP
The builder opens on a map of its own, as its first step. Mark the ground there and the acres go out with the request.
