T AND M RATE SHEET, READY TO EDIT.
Every piece of equipment you run, priced by day, week and month, with the fuel it burns and what it costs to get it there, plus crew rates at regular and overtime.
Time and material work priced after the fact is priced by whoever argues hardest, and that's never the subcontractor. It's also the only way equipment gets paid for on T and M at all: a machine with no published rate becomes a machine you brought for free. It's emailed as an attachment, and everything you need to change is highlighted.
3 THINGS, IN ORDER.
Replace the example rates with yours. They're real numbers from a client engagement and they need vetting for your region, your wage determination and what you paid for the iron.
Put fuel in as gallons per hour per machine rather than one blended figure. An excavator at six and a loader at sixteen are different costs.
Get it attached to the subcontract. A rate sheet referenced in the contract is binding; the same sheet sent after the first change is a proposal.
No charge. It goes to a real address rather than sitting on a link, which is the only thing asked for. The workbook carries a branded How To Use tab and the form itself is left unmarked, because that's the page that goes to somebody else.
