What to include in a striping estimate request.

Identify the property and the contact.

Include the street address or town and a contact who knows the site. If the project covers more than one parking area, describe which areas are included. A shopping-center lot, a building’s rear parking area and a separate employee lot should not be left to inference.

Tell Jack whether you are the property manager, owner, paving contractor, building contractor or another project contact. Company is optional on the form, but it can help identify who is coordinating the work.

List the markings, not just the word “striping.”

Start with parking spaces, then note anything else you want included. An approximate count is useful when you have one. If the quantity is uncertain, describe the area instead of supplying an unsupported number.

• Standard parking-space lines and any designated spaces
• Accessible stalls and associated markings shown on your plans
• Fire-zone lettering or marked areas
• Directional arrows, crosswalks or other pavement markings
• Traffic signs or related surface-maintenance work

Describe the surface and the intended layout.

Say whether the work concerns existing pavement, new asphalt, resurfacing or an area that also needs seal coating or crack filling. Mention visible damage or patches and whether old markings are still present.

Explain whether the current layout should be refreshed or a different arrangement is being considered. If there are drawings or an approved marking plan, mention them. The estimate form does not accept attachments; you can email project documents to Jack directly.

Flag the site’s practical constraints.

Note tenant entrances, deliveries, loading areas, restricted sections and who controls access to the property. Include any project coordination requirements that the contractor needs to understand. This starts the planning discussion; it does not establish a work schedule.

A simple description to adapt.

For example: “We manage a commercial property in [town]. We want the existing parking spaces refreshed and would like the arrows and fire-zone markings included. The lot has [approximate count, if known] spaces. We have a site plan, and the loading area needs to be considered when planning access.”

Replace the bracketed details with what you know and leave uncertain items as questions.

Send the details to Jack.
