ELK RIVER ICE ARENA—ICE SYSTEM EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Estimated Project Costs The proposed cost estimates presented throughout this report were developed by estimating the probable construction costs based on similar types of construction projects and work performed and bid in 2008-2012 and updated for 2013 costs unless otherwise noted. The estimated costs include all materials and labor for a complete installation unless otherwise noted. Costs will vary depending on the time of year the projects are bid, the current economic climate and the size of project. In addition to the probable construction costs of the proposed work, other associated project costs are included to provide a total estimate cost for the project. The Estimate, Design and Construction Contingency line item in each cost table is included during the evaluation phase of projects since the exact scope of the project has not yet been determined. This percentage is typically reduced from 15% to 5% during the final design phase of the project. The Engineering, Legal and Administrative line item in each cost table is provided to cover all work performed by the design team and all legal and administrative work required by the City for projects of this type.
