Description / Abstract:
Purpose
With increasing transportation needs, funding limitations at
both the federal and state levels, and the high cost of
transportation improvement projects, it is important to have a
toolbox of techniques that support accurate estimation of project
costs. There is no single "right way" to prepare an estimate, and
these guidelines are not intended to promote one technique over
another. The purpose of this guide is to provide a nationally
recognized and accepted set of cost estimation and cost management
practices that each DOT can draw from and use appropriately to its
situation.
