Good afternoon. First time here. I'm a municipal-civil engineering, dealing with smaller scope projects typically, local roads and bridges and such. Also an NBIS inspector, which is where the question arises from.
We have a client looking for a very general cost estimate for blasting and re-painting a ~70 FT x 10 FT pedestrian bridge.
Typically with our bridge inspections and projects, very few steel bridges are utilized as the State owns 95+% of bridges large enough to warrant steel girders. On the other hand, the few clients of ours that own pedestrian bridges are constructed of weathering steel and do not require re-painting.
What I am hoping for is that someone on here has some very, very general method of cost estimating this type of work. I have no problem estimating the additional costs (like pulling off the deck, which they will need to do), but I do not know where to start on how to estimate painting costs.
Thank you in advance for anyone that can provide any input.
