I have to agree with the T&M folks. If you don't have a lot experience doing that kind of maintenance you are better off with T&M for at least the first season and then you can put numbers to it the next year with confidence. Unless you do have experience with it and can look at it and know how long it will take in each season plus all your materials, etc. If you are confident in your total number for the year the easiest thing to do is prorate over 10-or 12 months. If less than 12 months than higher payments for the first month or two.

Your schedule sounds reasonable plus a day or two in spring and fall for clean up/ prep.
