Stantec Consulting Services Inc. 14 of 16 TO1 – Randolph-Sampson RTB PER Subtask 4.9- Opinion of Probable Construction Costs (OPCC) and O&M Costs During the evaluation of potential RTB layouts (Subtask 4.7), STANTEC will prepare Class 5 opinions of probable construction cost (OPCC) in accordance with Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) International guidelines for up to three (3) alternatives. The purpose of these estimates will be to provide cost data that can be used for comparing the various layouts. Estimated annual operation and maintenance costs will also be prepared for each of the three alternatives. Following identification of a recommended concept, the OPCC for that concept will be refined to provide a basis for budgeting for future design, construction, and operation of the improvement. Note: Any OPCC prepared by STANTEC, including evaluations of the CITY’s project budget, and/or funding, represent STANTEC’s best judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry. Unless and to the extent otherwise indicated by STANTEC, such opinions or evaluations are based on current market rates for labor, materials, and equipment. The CITY acknowledges that STANTEC has no control over the costs of said labor, materials, or equipment, construction contractor’s methods of determining bid prices, competitive bidding environments, unidentified field conditions, market conditions, hyper-inflationary or deflationary price cycles, or any other factors that may affect the OPCC, the project budget or negotiating conditions at the time of project execution. The CITY further acknowledges that the OPCC is a “snapshot” in time and that the reliability of the OPCC will degrade over time. Accordingly, STANTEC does not warrant or represent that construction bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the CITY’s project budget or STANTEC’s good faith OPCC. Deliverables for Task 4 (All deliverables will be submitted via email in PDF format): • Results from Task 4 evaluations will be incorporated into the PER. Task 5 – Project Implementation Following identification of a recommended conceptual plan for the proposed RTB, STANTEC will evaluate additional factors that may impact project implementation. Subtask 5.1- Land and Easement Requirements STANTEC will identify land acquisition and easement (temporary and permanent) requirements for construction of the project based on the recommended conceptual layout developed under Subtask 4.7. Subtask 5.2- Permitting Plan STANTEC will identify permits that are anticipated to be required to complete design, additional field investigations, and construction of the proposed RTB. Information gathered for each permit will include: • Permitting agency • Permit application requirements (including estimated fees) • Anticipated time for permit review • Activities dependent upon receipt of the permit Data gathered for the anticipated permits will be summarized in tabular form for inclusion in the PER and used to outline a permitting plan to be implemented during detailed design and construction.
