SECTION 5.0 COST ESTIMATE <br /> 5.1 GENERAL <br /> In order to prepare the preliminary construction cost estimates presented herein, various <br /> material and equipment manufacturers and suppliers were contacted. Published and <br /> unpublished data on costs for similar kinds of construction were also utilized. <br /> The estimated costs are for January 2013. Increases in construction costs due to inflation <br /> are not taken into account. The cost estimates presented here are intended for use as a <br /> guideline in the decision process. Once preparation of final drawings and specifications is <br /> underway, more refined cost estimates will become available. <br /> 5.2 LIQUID STREAM IMPROVEMENTS <br /> The preliminary cost estimates for the liquid stream improvements for Options No. 1 and <br /> No. 2 are presented in Table 5.1. As shown, the line items that have a cost difference for <br /> the two options are the aerations basins, blowers, fine pore diffusers, UV system, and the <br /> electrical/control system. These cost differences are attributed to the larger aeration basin <br /> size and new UV system required for Design Option No. 2 design flows. <br /> City of Elk River—T12.104758 Page 27 <br /> Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan Prepared by Bolton&Menk,Inc. <br />
