Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />County identified 12 recent improvements with acquisition data. Using the construction <br />costs for these improvements, a ROW factor of construction was calculated for each <br />improvement, ranging from six (6) to 150 percent, with a weighted average of <br />approximately 41 percent. This calculated local factor was consistent with county road <br />ROW factors observed in recent impact fee studies throughout Florida and was used as the <br />basis for ROW costs in Indian River County. As seen in Table IX -1, this amount is equal to <br />approximately $0.66 million per lane mile for county roads. Additional detail is provided in <br />Appendix C, Tables C-4, C-5, C-11, and C-12. <br />Construction <br />The construction cost for county roads was based on a review of local and statewide <br />projects. A review of recent construction cost data for Indian River County identified 12 <br />recent capacity expansion improvements throughout the County. Based on these <br />improvements, a weighted average cost of $1.80 million per lane mile was calculated for <br />use in the impact fee calculation (as seen in Table IX -1). This figure was compared to the <br />average construction cost per lane mile observed in other jurisdictions throughout the <br />state. These statewide projects averaged approximately $2.18 million per lane mile for <br />construction. Therefore, compared to the statewide data, local Indian River costs are <br />approximately 83 percent of the statewide average.
