Ref.: SWEC Detention Basin
Dear Mike:
We are sending under separate cover two sets of construction drawings for interim and final
construction of Southwest Environmental Center Detention Basin. We are enclosing with this
letter our estimates for the construction cost of the basin and appurtenances:
1. Total Estimated Cost (City, BDD4, and Future City Contractor) $2,694,295.50
2. Interim Estimated Cost (City and BDD4) 870,936.00
3. Interim Estimated Cost (BDD4 Only) 738,016.00
4. Interim Estimated Cost (City Only) 132,920.00
The future city contractor project is therefore estimated at $1,823,359.50 to complete the project
work alter the City and BDD4 complete the Interim phase.
Unit costs in the estimates were developed to provide for BDD4 costs estimated at direct out-of-
pocket expense plus estimated overheard and equipment (depreciation and maintenance of owned
BDD4 equipment) costs. Generally, the City costs are to purchase and supply leased equipment
and purchased materials, and BDD4 costs are to provide and operate their own equipment and
labor, operate named City-leased equipment and associated City-purchased consumables, and to
install city-purchased materials.
For comparative purposes, BDD4 costs are based on an effective cost as flail labor and
equipment were available. The intent is to limit BDD4's experienced out-of-pocket expenses to
equipment they might choose to lease, any preferred additional project labor, specialty minor tOols
and materials, and to the consumables requked by their equipment or equipment they might
choose to lease. Therefore, BDD4's actual out-of-pocket costs will be substantially less than the
figures stated in the estimates.
