E. OPERATIONAL & MAINTENANCE SAVINGS <br />Operational and maintenance savings determination are again collaborative. Typically, the areas of <br />savings are identified through working together to understand how the processes are changing. At <br />that point, savings are estimated. Information that is typically provided includes: <br />Description of operational efforts including manpower, equipment, and consumable <br />resources used <br />Description of maintenance efforts including manpower, equipment, and consumable <br />resources used <br />Hourly costs incurred for personnel and equipment <br />Costs for consumables <br />The description of the current operational challenges with the systems being improved by this project <br />leads to the expectation that there will be 0&M savings. These savings may be found in: <br />Upgraded Plant Equipment requiring less maintenance <br />Less maintenance associated with CSO discharges <br />The 0&M savings estimate is the sum of the individual savings opportunities, calculated on both <br />an annual and contract lifetime basis. This is an input to the Total Project Savings included in the <br />contract documents. <br />F. FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE SAVINGS <br />According to Indiana Code 36-1-12.5-11, contracts that include stipulated savings describe the <br />stipulated savings and document assumptions using industry engineering standards. The comparative <br />estimate for future capital expenditure savings is developed from a number of sources including <br />the Engineer's estimate, past projects and/or bid pricing, vendor quotes, and commonly accepted <br />construction standards published by R. S. Means, National Electrical Contractors Association and <br />Mechanical Contractors Association of America. As previously descriped, the majority of our GSC <br />savings calculations begin with the Engineer's estimate of the work and add or subtract to reflect the <br />scope and any costs not considered, such as the price increase for American Iron and Steel. <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA GSC 54 <br />
