This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense's proposed Range Rule greatly increases the number of unexploded ordnance (UXO) contaminated sites that the services must decontaminate. Existing models for estimating the cost of UXO removal often require a high level of expertise and provide only a point estimate for the costs; they do not provide a probability distribution of the potential costs. This thesis presents a probabilistic cost estimation model created as an "add- in" for Microsoft Excel. A test database consisting of descriptive and cost information on the historic cleanup of nineteen contaminated areas is created. To demonstrate the model, the thesis filters the database to find eight historic records characteristically similar to a fictitious cleanup scenario, and uses information from these historic records to build probability distributions for six cost elements. The model applies Monte Carlo simulation to these probability distributions to build a probability distribution for the total cleanup cost. The resulting distribution shows that for this cleanup scenario the most likely per acre cost is $8,400, but there is a 75% chance that costs fall between $8, 500 and $26,000. Results for a scenario composed of three cleanups predicts a most likely total cost of $ 1.7 million with a 50% probability of costs falling between $1.7 million and $2.2 million.

This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1990s, the Department of Defense has undergone numerous changes in an effort to save money and bring the military infrastructure in line with the National Security Strategy. One of the major ways of reducing military infrastructure has been through the Base Realignment and Closure program. Before an installation can be formally turned over to the local community, the military service owning the base has to certify that the land is environmentally safe for reuse. One of the greatest problems discovered on former weapons training installations is the numerous pieces of Unexploded Ordnance that were located either on the surface or just below the surface in soil that will be reworked for land development projects by local city developers. This thesis provides a comprehensive case study of the former Fort Ord installation as the Army goes through the process of cleaning up Unexploded Ordnance so that the property can be given to the City of Seaside, CA and other civilian entities. A mathematical model is developed to better estimate cleanup costs using historical cost data that could be used by the Defense Department prior to placing installations on any future closure lists.

Book excerpt: With continued military downsizing and base closures, cleanup of unexploded ordnance (UXO) at former weapons ranges has become one of the most costly environmental problems the military faces. This study examines cost estimation for UXO remediation conducted at closed military installations, the difficulties of accurately estimating cleanup costs, and the major effects that different cleanup requirements and methods can have on cost.

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential, authoritative guide to providing accurate, systematic, and reliable estimating for construction projects—newly revised Pricing and bidding for construction work is at the heart of every construction business, and in the minds of construction consultants’ poor bids lead to poor performance and nobody wins. New Code of Estimating Practice examines the processes of estimating and pricing, providing best practice guidelines for those involved in procuring and pricing construction works, both in the public and private sectors. It embodies principles that are applicable to any project regardless of size or complexity. This authoritative guide has been completely rewritten to include much more contextual and educational material as well as the code of practice. It covers changes in estimating practice; the bidding process; the fundamentals in formulating a bid; the pre-qualification process; procurement options; contractual arrangements and legal issues; preliminaries; temporary works; cost estimating techniques; risk management; logistics; resource and production planning; computer-aided estimating; information and time planning; resource planning and pricing; preparation of an estimator’s report; bid assembly and adjudication; pre-production planning and processes; and site production. Established standard for the construction industry, providing the only code of practice on construction estimating Prepared under the auspices of the Chartered Institute of Building and endorsed by a range of other professional bodies Completely rewritten since the 7th edition, to include much more contextual and educational material, as well as the core code of practice New Code of Estimating Practice is an important book for construction contractors, specialist contractors, quantity surveyors/cost consultants, and for students of construction and quantity surveying.
