Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study <br /> State Roadway Costs <br /> This section examines the ROW, construction, and other cost components associated with <br /> state roads with respect to transportation capacity improvements in Indian County. For this <br /> purpose, recent bid data from state roadway projects throughout Florida and the FDOT's <br /> Long Range Estimates (LRE) were used to identify and provide supporting cost data for state <br /> improvements. The cost for each roadway capacity project was separated into four phases: <br /> design, CEI, ROW and construction. <br /> Design and CEI <br /> Design costs for state roads were estimated at 9 percent construction phase costs based on <br /> a review of cost data collected for recent transportation impact fee studies throughout <br /> Florida. Additional detail is provided in Appendix C,Table C-10. <br /> CEI costs for state roads were estimated at 11 percent of construction phase costs based on <br /> a review of cost data collected for recent transportation impact fee studies throughout <br /> Florida. Additional detail is provided in Appendix C,Table C-16. <br /> Right-of-Way <br /> Due to a lack of local right-of-way acquisition cost data for state roads in Indian River <br /> County, a review of ROW costs from recent transportation fee studies throughout Florida <br /> was conducted. Based on this review, ROW for state roadways was estimated at 44 percent <br /> of the construction cost for state roads. As shown in Table IX-2, this amount is equal to <br /> approximately $0.78 million per lane mile. Additional detail is provided in Appendix C, <br /> Table C-12. <br /> Construction <br /> A review of recent state road capacity improvements in Indian River identified three <br /> projects from 2008 and 2009 (SR 60 and SR 5 widening). These three projects averaged <br /> approximately $2.95 million per lane mile for construction. However, due to the small <br /> sample size, these projects were blended with 49 additional capacity expansion projects <br /> throughout Florida, which resulted in a weighted average cost of $2.44 million per lane <br /> mile. An analysis of county roadway improvements, where a larger sample of local projects <br /> was available, in relation to statewide county road improvements, indicated that <br /> construction costs average approximately 83 percent of construction costs statewide. <br /> Based on this conclusion, the construction costs for state roadways in Indian River County <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
