Indian River County 1 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 CE1 <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.
