Construction & Specialty Trades · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Asphalt-patching repair-limit and changed-scope workbook
Two patching proposals may describe different repair areas even when they sound similar. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai connects each patch label to the contractor's existing plan or photo reference. Keep the proposed boundary, included work and later changes together so you can ask what each offer actually covers.

Preparation only. Not pavement diagnosis, measurement, design, material selection, excavation, traffic control, work-zone access, inspection, reopening approval, contract or legal advice. Providers must assess and define the work. Keep addresses, private plans and actual approvals separate.

How to use this resource
Start with Patch P1, P2 and P3 using references the contractor has already supplied. Do not measure, mark pavement or enter a work area for this workbook. Record the provider's description, not your own diagnosis or treatment choice. If one offer proposes broader resurfacing, keep it separate and ask which patch labels it replaces or leaves out. On page 2, link an expanded repair boundary to the old and new references, the provider's explanation, affected preparation or restoration and the revised proposal. An unanswered scope question stays open; a note in this workbook is not authorization. Use the same dated patch list for each provider's comparison.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
SEPARATE ALTERNATIVES AND CHANGES
Keep a different offer separate. Trace changed limits without diagnosing a cause or approving work.
CHECK THE REPAIR-SCOPE COMPARISON
Tick what is organized for discussion. These checks do not approve design, work or reopening.
QUESTIONS FOR THE PAVING PROVIDER
Ask the professional to define and explain the scope. Do not choose technical specifications here.

Asphalt patching preparation checklist
- Use consistent patch labels linked to provider-supplied plan or photo references.
- Record the proposal version and the provider-described boundary for each patch.
- Separate included preparation and restoration from exclusions and unresolved questions.
- Keep a broader resurfacing alternative separate from the patch-by-patch offer.
- Ask which original patch labels an alternative replaces, includes or leaves out.
- Link changed repair limits to both the earlier and revised references.
- Track affected work, the provider response and any actual approval reference separately.
- Compare the same dated patch list without treating these notes as work authorization.
Questions for the paving provider
- How will your proposal identify the boundary and included work for each patch label?
- Which preparation, adjacent-area work and restoration are included, excluded or still to be assessed?
- If you propose broader resurfacing, which patch labels does it replace and what remains outside it?
- How will you document a proposed expansion from the original repair boundary to a revised one?
- Who explains changes in preparation, restoration, timing and written terms before an actual decision?
- How will the final proposal point to the current patch list while keeping superseded versions identifiable?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
