| Task | How often | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweep and remove debris | Weekly to monthly | All year | More often at restaurants, grocery anchors and loading areas. |
| Walk the lot and log defects | Quarterly | All year | Photograph cracks, potholes, faded markings, pooling water and damaged signs, with the date. |
| Clear drains and catch basins | Before and during the rainy season | Late spring, then after big storms | Standing water is what breaks pavement down fastest. |
| Fill potholes and patch failed areas | As found | All year, in dry weather | Small repairs now prevent larger base failures. |
| Seal cracks | Every year | Dry season | Seal before sealcoating so the coat lasts. |
| Sealcoat | Every two to three years, depending on traffic | Dry, warm weeks outside the rainy season | Needs dry days to cure; schedule around tenant hours and close sections in turn. |
| Restripe and repaint markings | Every one to two years, and after every sealcoat | With or right after sealcoating | Include stall lines, arrows, fire lanes, crosswalks and accessible spaces. |
| Check accessible parking | Every year, and after any restripe | With the restripe | Count accessible and van spaces, and check signs, access aisles and curb ramps against current federal and Florida rules. |
| Check lighting, signs and wheel stops | Quarterly | All year | Replace missing wheel stops and damaged signs; report lighting outages to the manager. |
| Plan resurfacing or reconstruction | Review every year | Budget season, before the next fiscal year | Use the defect log to show the manager which areas are past repair. |
- Send the schedule with your first quote: it shows the manager a year of work, not a single job.
- Put your company name and phone number on the file before you send it.
- Managers set next year's budgets in the fall, so the annual review is the time to propose the larger work.
