Cost Opinions. Supplementing the bikeway and walkway system maps, Alta will develop a project list with planning-level cost opinions. The list will include detailed information on each proposed bikeway/walkway segment length, corridor condition, and other information. The cost opinions will include estimated construction costs, planning, design, engineering and contingency costs, and the project list will note areas where right-of-way acquisition is necessary. Alta will use the latest unit costs available from the Rapid City Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments in conjunction with the most recent figures available from comparable communities in South Dakota. Each project segment will be evaluated according to an estimated cost-per- mile and estimated ongoing maintenance and operation costs by implementation phase based on comparable experiences.
Cost Opinions. The CONSULTANT shall prepare opinions of probable construction costs for the 50 and 100 percent design completion stage submittal. The accuracy of the cost estimate associated with the 50 percent completion stage shall be +30% to –15% “Budget” Level as defined by the American Association of Cost Engineers. The accuracy of the cost estimate associated with the 100 percent completion stage submittals shall be a +15% to –5% “Definitive” Level Estimates as defined by the American Association of Cost Engineers.
