APPENDIX D <br />Eugene Basin Planning <br />Unit Cost Tables for Estimating Capital Project (CP) Costs <br />August 2009 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The following tables provide the unit costs and back -up documentation associated with material <br />and construction costs for various drainage system components. <br />The purpose of these tables is to provide general guidance with respect to CP costs and to allow <br />for cost comparisons between CPs. These unit costs are based on original and refined unit costs <br />used for the Eugene Master Plan in 1999 with a 15% increase to all original unit costs to reflect <br />current conditions (2007). These increased costs are only applicable to the scale of projects in <br />the City's preliminary storm system CP list. They are not applicable to projects that are of a <br />much smaller or larger scale than those preliminary CPs. <br />Tables 1 through 4 — Tables 1 through 4 provide estimated capital /construction costs for each <br />CP type (e.g., pipe installation, open channel improvements, and detention and water quality <br />facilities). Table 1 provides cost estimates for all of the CP types except for pipes and structural <br />water quality treatment systems (i.e., CONTECH Storm Filter). Table 2 provides cost estimates <br />for drainage pipe, based on pipe size and depth of cover. Table 3 provides detailed back -up <br />information regarding estimated construction costs for drainage pipe installation. Table 4 <br />provides cost estimates for five different sized structural water quality facilities (i.e., CONTECH <br />Storm Filter). For many of the CPs in Table 1 and the pipe costs in Table 2, the unit cost must be <br />multiplied by a quantity such as acre -feet, square yards, or lineal feet to estimate the total capital <br />cost for that CP. <br />Tables 5 through 7 — Tables 5 through 7 provide the back -up information that was used to <br />estimate the unit costs for CP types listed in Table 1. Table 5 provides unit costs for the various <br />elements that comprise each CP (e.g., labor, excavation, etc.). Table 6 provides the quantities of <br />each element that comprise the CPs (e.g., 1 hour of labor, 6 cubic yards of excavation, etc.). <br />Table 7 provides the detailed back -up capital /construction cost information for each CP type <br />based on Tables 5 and 6. <br />(Note: a revision was made to the Natural Resource Enhancement and Open Waterway <br />Improvement Construction unit costs November 2001. Seethe addendum following this <br />summary, prior to the tables.) <br />Table 8 — Table 8 provides the estimated maintenance costs for each CP type. For many of the <br />CPs, the maintenance cost must be multiplied by a unit such as acre -feet or square yards in order <br />to come up with the total estimated maintenance cost. <br />Estimated maintenance costs have been calculated and reported for flood control CPs. A <br />maintenance cost is not provided for capital projects to increase the pipe sizes based on the <br />assumption that maintenance of piped systems typically includes catch basin /manhole cleaning <br />I:A 945042m\ task0300 Asdmps \vol=cl\appendixg.doc <br />
