Itemized parking lot line striping example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bay count and layout check | 1 job | $320.00 | $320.00 |
| Vehicle exclusion setup | 1 job | $280.00 | $280.00 |
| Surface cleaning | 980 linear ft. | $1.00 | $980.00 |
| Marking material allowance | 1 job | $680.00 | $680.00 |
| Line application | 980 linear ft. | $3.00 | $2,940.00 |
| Symbol allowance | 4 each | $85.00 | $340.00 |
| Quality check and reopening | 1 job | $220.00 | $220.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $5,760.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for surface cleaning is 980 linear ft. × $1.00 = $980.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $5,760.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Count bays, measure total line length and identify symbols, arrows and accessible bays separately. Selection to verify: State marking paint or thermoplastic system and whether layout changes are included.
Assumptions and exclusions
Plan vehicle exclusion, surface drying and reopening with the site manager.
Outside the stated scope: No asphalt repair, traffic-management plan for public roads or new signs.
Failed pavement or changed traffic layout requires separate preparation or design. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
