Cost estimate Summary: <br />Engineering, Design and Permitting <br />376,350 <br />Construction Cost <br />3,763,506 <br />Construction Administration <br />188,175 <br />Construction Inspection <br />188,175 <br />20% Contingency <br />903,241 <br />Sub Total <br />5,419,447 <br />Service Availability Fees <br />368,768 <br />Total <br />5,788,215 <br />17 <br />The concept does not include the cost to actually connect individual homes to the sewer <br />system. Those costs will vary on the configuration of the lot and the distance from the <br />house to the main sewer line. Those costs are typically the costs of the homeowner <br />and are estimated to be about $20 /foot. The connections to an individual house would <br />be provided by a private plumbing contractor. <br />The next step to move the concept plan forward would be to begin the preliminary <br />engineering and design work. Engineers would be hired to take this concept, go out in <br />the field and start the process of data collection and defining the details of the concept. <br />OWASA has estimated the preliminary engineering costs would be $376,350. That is a <br />rough estimate based on what is known of the area so far. A completed preliminary <br />engineering and design will be necessary to complete a Community Development Block <br />Grant application. <br />Sewer Recommendations: <br />The Task Force has discussed all or part of the proposed $5.8 million dollar sewer <br />concept plan, but has not yet recommended moving forward with this concept plan, <br />pending an agreement on a cost sharing plan for sewer improvements. <br />7 <br />
