  • Capital Cost Estimate Memo Technical Note Project: Hybrid Rail Study
    Appendix F: Capital Cost Estimate Memo Technical Note Project: Hybrid Rail Study Prepared by: Amjad Hussain Date: 4/30/18 Approved by: Eric Banghart Checked by: Darlene Gonzalez Subject: Capital Cost Estimate Memo 1 Background and Purpose The Double tracking cost estimate is a based on the preliminary 5% level of design. The following describes the methodology used to develop this cost estimate. This report describes the development of capital cost estimates for infrastructure increase to accompany the Hybrid DMU vehicles. Rough order-of-magnitude capital cost estimates were developed for the following scenarios: ● Supplementing Existing Service between Pomona North and University of Redlands ● Limited bi-directional blended scenarios between El Monte and University of Redlands – 30-Minute service – 15-Minute service ● Limited bi-directional blended scenarios between Pomona North and University of Redlands – 30-Minute service – 15-Minute service ● Unconstrained scenarios between terminus station (El Monte, Pomona North, or Montclair) and University of Redlands – 30-minute service – 20-minute service – 15-minute service ● Ontario Airport Total (Escalated to 2018) Prepare from previous capital cost estimates Each scenario includes an estimate of the probable cost of construction with appropriate increase in vehicles and new/modifications to the existing platforms. The cost estimate addresses double tracking route alignment, existing track shifts, infrastructure improvements and other system costs. The cost estimates will include appropriate design allowances, allocated and unallocated contingency mark-ups as individual line items. A Basis of Estimate Report explaining the scope, assumptions and limitations of the estimating process will accompany the cost estimate. 2 Estimate Definition In order to estimate project capital cost quantities, further conceptual engineering design development double tracking improvements and station modifications where necessary as part of the 15, 20 and 30- minute route planning scenarios.
