Example figures for a typical aerobic system service job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.

What to spell out on a aerobic system service bid

  • The repair parts by name and the contract visits by count.
  • What a visit includes and what is extra, like a second pump or a sprinkler head.
  • That the county requires the contract where it does, and that you file the report.
  • Chlorine and consumables, included or not.

The county inspection schedule drives the timeline. Put it on the bid so the customer is not calling on day three asking why there is a hole in the yard.

The parts of this estimate

  • Scope of work. 4 lines, one thing each, in the order the work happens. What is not included is on the list too.
  • One price. $1,150. Not a formula, not a range. The scope explains the number.
  • Timeline. 1 visit for the repair, then every 4 months. Including dry time, cure time, or permit time, so the customer plans around it.
  • Payment terms. Due on completion. Nothing down. The customer pays when the work is done.
  • Warranty. 1 year on the pump, service visits as scheduled.
  • A way to accept. The customer types their name and signs with a finger on their phone. Legally binding under the E-SIGN Act, and recorded with the date, time, and the exact estimate they agreed to.
