Purpose
This Benefit-Cost Analysis Re-engineering (BCAR) report is provided for use by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to review and approve the recommended
methodology to provide project cost guidance for the FEMA benefit-cost analysis (BCA) modules. The
methodology report is part of a larger effort to re-engineer the FEMA BCA methods, modules, guidance,
and training to improve the BCA process.
Introduction: Problem Statement
The BCA modules were developed to calculate project benefits and project costs as part of the effort to
evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proposed hazard mitigation projects. However, since project benefits
are more difficult to determine than project costs, the FEMA BCA modules and guidance devote most of
their efforts to estimating and documenting project benefits. As a result, there is little guidance
provided on how to properly and completely estimate and document project costs used in the BCAmodules. For this reason, many applicants submit BCAs with project costs that are incomplete,
inaccurate, or poorly documented.
In response to this problem, FEMA Headquarters has requested that additional guidance be provided to
assist applicants with the preparation of complete and well-documented project costs as part of the
BCAR initiative. Specifically, additional guidance was requested on the following five project cost
estimate issues:
1. What hard construction and ancillary costs related to a variety of mitigation project types are
acceptable?
2. Should contingencies and allowances for change orders be accounted for in project cost
estimates?
3. What are the acceptable sources of data for the mitigation project cost estimates?
4. What is an appropriate level of detail to be included in a mitigation project cost estimate?
5. Can we provide helpful hints and defined values to help the grant applicant develop complete
and accurate cost estimates?
At present, the inclusion of contingencies and allowances for change orders is not being considered by
the mitigation directorate; these items are more relevant to FEMAs Public Assistance Program, and are
not applicable to the majority of mitigation projects being considered.
Specifically, the URS BCA team has been asked to address 16 specific mitigation project cases comprised
of five hazards (flood, wind, earthquake, landslide, and wildfire) and two to five project types per
hazard, including structural and non-structural mitigation alternatives, as shown in Table 1. While the
estimating methodology is applicable to additional hazards and project types, sample scope items,

estimating flowcharts, and sample estimates are only provided for the 16 specific mitigation project
cases shown in Table 1. Any project types that do not fit into the 16 defined types shall be defined as
other.

Recommendations: Proposed Methodology to Address Problem
Statement
To address the problem of inadequate project cost estimates as well as the project cost estimate issues
raised by the BCAR initiative, the URS BCA team proposes the following methodology to provide
expanded cost estimating guidance:
Our efforts focused on three main areas:
1. Guidance on how to develop a complete estimate is presented in the 16 hazard/mitigation
project type flow charts and sample estimates provided in Appendices A and B. These flowcharts and sample estimates are further supported by definitions and references contained in
the help area of the BCAR tool.
2. An overall estimating approach that walks the users through a six step process designed to help
account for construction and non-construction related costs associated with a mitigation
project. This process is defined and outlined in the storyboard presented in Appendix C.

3. A Scope Builder Checklist is designed for reference by Applicants/subapplicants prior to their use
of the BCA cost estimating tool. This Handout will provide guidance to assist in the preparation
of an effective scope of work and will assist the preparer in the identification and collection of
the cost information needed to use the BCA module. The Checklists are provided in Appendix D.

Section 1: Cost Estimating Methodology Programming and User
Overview
The critical part of developing an accurate cost estimate is having a defined scope of work that itemizes
the specific work elements (tasks) that will be accomplished as part of the mitigation project. Once
these specific work elements are defined they can be translated into work element descriptions for
which quantities and unit prices can be estimated. The flow charts, sample estimates, and scope builder
tables provided in Appendices A, B, and D offer guidance and suggestions as to typical work elements
associated with the various mitigation measures. Those resources are not intended to be all inclusive,
and each mitigation project may have different and unique elements that must be included in the scope
of work and cost estimate.
An estimate can be developed in a variety of ways, but most estimates fall into the following categories:
1. Published unit price information for defined work elements can be obtained from commercialestimating sources such as RS Means and Marshall & Swift. This information is copyrighted and
users typically purchase the right to use their information. Note that these published cost
sources are regularly updated and if the estimate is prepared using old unit price information,
the estimate should be updated to reflect current pricing.
2. Historical Costs for completing the similar projects can be obtained from local contractors,
building officials, State hazard mitigation officers, and project owners. Note that these historical
costs should be escalated to ensure current pricing.
3. Contractor Bids or estimates for completing a specific scope of work or project are typically
completed at the time of the bid and account for inflation over the course of the project.
The accuracy of each of these estimates will vary according to the level of detail in the scope of work
and work elements to be estimated. Preliminary estimates are applicable for initial project screening or
scoping, but detailed costs estimates should be used when submitting project applications for funding
approvals.
The cost estimating portion of the BCA methodology shall use a step by step process of simple inquiries,
dynamic help screens, and input boxes to walk users through the six steps associated with developing a
complete cost estimate for their mitigation project. This six-step process outlined below follows the
users selection of a hazard and mitigation strategy and consists of:
1. Developing an estimate of pre-construction or non-construction costs
2. Developing an estimate of construction costs
3. Developing an estimate of ancillary costs
4. Developing an estimate of annual maintenance costs

5. Adjusting the estimate to account for project timing and currency of the data used in the
estimate
6. Reviewing and confirming the cost estimate
At any time during this process users can input a previously completed estimate, an explanation of their
estimating approach, and their estimate file (spreadsheet). Each step in that process is explained and
illustrated in the following paragraphs. Prior to entering the cost estimation portion of the BCAR tool,
users will have chosen a hazard mitigation strategy and defined a mitigation project type for a specific
structure. The initial cost estimation screen will pre-populate the project and structure names and the
mitigation option will be displayed for reference. At this point users will be asked to:
verify the projects useful life in years;
verify that a detailed scope of work has been developed; and
answer whether or not a detailed cost estimate has already been developed for the project.
Depending on the answers to the above questions, users will be prompted to input a completed
estimate, explanation/justification, and upload their file or they will be directed to the estimating tool.
This process is presented in screen shot CE1 of the BCAR cost estimating storyboard shown in Appendix
C. As noted in screen shots CE2 and CE3 of the storyboard, if a completed estimate is input (rather than
built), users will be queried to ensure that the estimate includes applicable construction markups and
that it reflects current pricing. If it does not include those items, users will be led through a process of
adding them to their previously completed estimate.
Once users have selected the option of developing a detailed cost estimate, they will follow the six-step
process outlined above as they develop their project cost estimate.

Step 1: Developing an Estimate of Pre-Construction Costs
In this section, users will be asked to develop an estimate of all pre-construction costs associated with
the mitigation project. Pre-construction costs are also called non-construction costs and may include
those non-construction costs an owner incurs in the planning, permitting, and management of a
mitigation project.
For example, pre-construction costs for an acquisition project may include the costs for propertysurveys, property appraisal fees, transaction and legal fees, the cost to purchase property and
improvements, and the cost of professional services needed for environmental or engineering
assessments and/or managing the process.
This process is presented in screen shot CE2a of the BCAR cost estimating storyboard shown in Appendix
C. As noted in the two screen shots, users can enter a lump sum amount (if a completed estimate is
available) or they can use the cost tool to develop their estimate by building on the pre-populated cells.
In all cases, flexibility is built into the cost estimating tool to allow users to input specific work elements
that are applicable to their mitigation project rather than use the default line items that were developed
for each of the 16 mitigation project types.
Within the cost estimating tool, the column format is consistent across all six steps. Each template has a
description of the work element, followed by a box to check the source of the unit pricing used (i.e.,
published data, historical data, or contractor data), the quantity and unit associated with each work
element, the unit cost of the work and a task cost, which is the product of the quantity and the unit cost.
Additional rows can be added to introduce work elements that were not included in the default format.
Step 2: Developing an Estimate of Construction Costs
In this section, users will be asked to develop an estimate of all hard construction costs associated
with the mitigation project. Hard construction costs are costs associated with the actual physical
altering of the property or structure. In the acquisition example, costs associated with site demolitionmight include the removal of hazardous materials, general demolition activities, well and septic
abandonment, utility disconnections, and utility removals.
This process is presented in screen shot CE2b of the BCAR cost estimating storyboard shown in Appendix
C. As noted in the two screen shots, users can enter a lump sum amount (if a completed estimate is
available) or they can use the cost tool to develop their estimate by building on the pre-populated cells.
In all cases, flexibility is built into the cost estimating tool to allow users to input specific work elements
that are applicable to their mitigation project rather than use the default line items that were developed
for each of the 16 mitigation project types.
Within the cost estimating tool, the column format is consistent across all six steps. Each template has a
description of the work element, followed by a box to check the source of the unit pricing used (i.e.,
published data, historical data, or contractor data), the quantity and unit associated with each work
element, the unit cost of the work and a task cost, which is the product of the quantity and the unit cost.
Additional rows can be added to introduce work elements that were not included in the default format.

Step 3: Developing an Estimate of Ancillary Costs
Once users input a detailed construction cost estimate, they will be queried to ensure that all general
construction and ancillary costs have been accounted for. Specifically, users will be asked if their unit
prices/costs have accounted for any of the following cost elements:
A/E Costs associated with project design and construction administration
General Contractor costs for general requirements and general conditions
General Contractor costs for overhead and profit
Project management costs associated with executing the project
Permit fees, testing costs, and plan approval fees
Mobilization and Demobilization costs
Depending upon the answer to each of the above questions, users will be asked to include those costs in
their estimate. This can be accomplished in two ways. First, users can revisit their pre-construction andconstruction costs and add a line item for the ancillary costs not previously included. Alternatively, they
can use industry standard proxy values as shown below in Table 2. These specific value ranges are
referenced using RS Means construction cost data as a resource. However, other national cost data
sources have similar values.
Table 2. Recommended Proxy Values

Mobilization and Demobilization 3% of the hard

Construction General Conditions and Requirements (i.e.,
costs associated with a general contractors field supervision

utilities, safety and security measures, quality control, and
administrative submittals)

This process is presented in the BCA Tool screen shot shown in Appendix C. As noted in the screen shots,
the users can select a proxy value that will be included in the mitigation project estimate.
Step 4: Developing an Estimate of Annual Maintenance Costs
The cost of maintaining mitigation measures is often not accounted for in mitigation cost estimates. If
maintenance is required for the proper and effective implementation of the mitigation measure, it
should be included in the cost estimate. In this section, the users will be asked to develop an estimate of
the annual maintenance costs necessary for the proper and effective implementation of the mitigation
project and to identify the number of years maintenance will be required (which is typically the project
useful life). The software will then calculate the present worth of the annual maintenance costs and add
that value to the project cost. This process is presented in screen shot CE3 of the BCAR cost estimating
storyboard shown in Appendix C.
Step 5: Adjusting Your Estimate to Account for Project Timing
In this section, the users will be asked if the estimate reflects current prices. Price currency is a function
of two separate issues. First, was the estimate prepared using current pricing data and second, was the
estimate escalated to the midpoint of construction to account for anticipated inflation in labor,
materials, and equipment over the term of the construction project.
With regard to the current pricing question, historical data must be escalated to todays values and
published data may vary based on the date of the published source. With regard to the issue of inflation
over the course of a project, the issue is the length of time between when the estimate was developed
and the start/completion of construction. Estimates are typically escalated to the midpoint of
construction to account for the inflation that will occur over the project lifecycle (design, bidding, and
construction).
As noted in screen CE3 of the storyboard (Appendix C), users will be asked if their estimate reflects
current prices and if not, they will be asked to input information on the type of construction project, the
cost basis year, the construction start year and the construction end year. The software will calculate
the escalation according to the methodology described in the following paragraphs.
The escalation is based on a computed 5-year annual building construction escalation rate for each
FEMA Region based on Engineering News RecordBuilding Cost Index for cities within each region. The
5-year average annual escalation used in this step is based on index values from December 2002 to
December 2007. The recommended escalation factors are provided in the following table.
-

FEMA Region(s)2002 - 2007 Average Annual

2 3.9%
3 5.0%4 and 10 4.3%
5 4.4%
6 and 9 4.9%7 5.4%
8 5.2%
We recommend that the escalation factors be used to escalate cost data from the date of its source to
the anticipated mid-point of construction of the proposed project. Escalation can be calculated using the
formula:
EC = PC*(1+E)N
Where EC = Escalated cost
PC = Present cost
E = Escalation rate
N = Estimated number of years from data date of date source to midpoint of
construction
Project schedules must indicate reasonable periods for project design, bid and contract award and
construction. Cost data should be escalated to the estimated mid-point of construction. The mid-point
of construction is calculated as the time for design, bid and contract award plus one-half the
construction period. Based on the precision of the data, including proposed project schedules, we
recommend that times to mid-point of construction be rounded upward to the next full year for
escalation purposes
Project schedules should be developed by experienced project and construction professionals. However,
a general guide to estimating project timelines as a function of project construction cost is provided on
the following table.

Example 1: A proposed drainage mitigation project located in FEMA Region 3 is identical to a project
completed by the applicant in 2005. The proposed project is scheduled for completion by the end of
2010. The project cost in 2005 was $300,000 plus $30,000 design and construction inspection fees.
Estimated Schedule:
Design fee approx. $30,000
Design time = ($30,000/$15,000 per month) + 2 months = 4 months
Construction cost = $300,000
Construction time = ($300,000/125,000) + 2 months = 4.4 months
Time to mid-point of construction = 4 months design + (4.4 months construction/2) = 6.2months. Round up to 1 year from start of design.
Escalated Project Cost
Estimated project start data January 2009
Escalation period = (Estimated start date + Time to midpoint of construction) Datasource year
(2009 + 1) 2005 = 5 years
EC = ($330,000)*(1+0.05) 5
EC = $421,173
Example 2: The $1,750,000 construction cost estimate for a proposed relocation in FEMA Region 6 is
based on 2008 published construction cost data. The estimated design and construction inspection fee is
$175,000. The project is expected to be completed in 2011.
Estimated Schedule
Design fee $175,000
Design time = ($175,000/$35,000 per month) + 4 months = 9 months
Construction cost = $1,750,000
Construction time = ($1,750,000/$350,000 per month) + 4 months = 9 months
Time to midpoint of construction = 9 months design + (9 months construction/2) = 13.5months. Use 2 years from start of design.
Escalated Project Cost
Estimated project start January 2009
Escalation period = (Estimated start date + Time to midpoint of construction) Datasource year
(2009 + 2) 2008 = 3 years
EC = (1,925,000)*(1+0.049)3
EC = $2,222,067
Step 6: Review and Confirmation of the Estimate
Finally, users will be required to certify that their cost estimate is complete and includes all costs
associated with the mitigation project scope of work. Queries should require the users to be instructed
to:
Compare each item in the cost estimate with the scope of work to make certain that all work
necessary to complete the project has been included
-

Review the unit and quantity of each item to confirm accuracy of the total costs
Assure that items that have been presented as lump sums are appropriate and cannot be readily
broken into units, and
Accept the following certification language by checking a box and entering the preparers name:

Section 2 Provide Specific Guidance
The flow charts provided in Appendix A lead the estimator through specific steps in developing a cost
estimate that is consistent with the scope of work, transparent, and contains only the appropriate lump
sum items. To assist the estimator in developing a complete and comprehensive cost estimate, the
following specific guidance will be provided within the cost portion of the BCAR effort.
Estimating process flow charts: Appendix A provides 16 cost estimation process flow charts that
detail the general steps required in developing reliable estimates, and offer specific suggestions for
each hazard and mitigation combination identified in Table 1. These estimating process flow charts
are designed to be referenced in Step 1 of the cost estimating process, and provide users with a
road map for developing a valid cost estimate.
See Figures 1-16 in Appendix A.
Sample estimate template: A sample cost estimate will be prepared for each of the 16 hazard
mitigation project types covered in Table 1. These estimates are designed to be referenced duringeach step of the cost estimating process, providing the users with a typical approach to developing a
valid cost estimate. It is important to note that these estimates are only samples, and each
mitigation project may have different descriptions of the items of work, different quantities,
different units, and different unit costs based on each projects specific scope of work.
Estimating helpful hints: Dynamic help features will be available to guide the users through the
software and define terms and processes associated with each step in the process. Examples of
these helpful hints are shown in the layout of the main cost estimation screen shown in Appendix A.

Section 3 Benefit-Cost Analysis Handout Tool
The Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) Handout is designed for reference by Applicants and subapplicants prior
to their use of the BCA tool. This Handout will provide guidance to assist in the preparation of an
effective scope of work and will assist the preparer in the identification and collection of the cost
information needed to use the BCA module. This handout will consist of the following elements and willbe developed once the software is beta tested:
1. Overview of the BCA Tool
2. Scope Builder checklists for each of the 16 mitigation project types covered in the estimating
module. These checklists will provide an itemized breakdown of the primary work tasks and
subtasks and are provided in Appendix D. (To be finalized after the tool structure is completed.)
3. Estimating Flow Charts for each of the 16 mitigation project types as provided in Appendix A
4. Sample Cost Estimates for each of the 16 mitigation project types as provided in Appendix B

Conclusions: Reasons for Selection of Proposed Methodology
In conclusion, the URS BCA team recommends the proposed methodology because it provides a simple,
straightforward approach to supplying comprehensive cost estimate guidance for a wide range of
hazard mitigation projects. The proposed methodology does not require recreating, linking, or updating
any existing cost estimating tools or products. Instead, users will be referred to those tools/productswhere applicable, and would be expected to learn tools or purchase products to address shortcomings
in their project cost estimates, as illustrated in the flow charts. This will simplify programming, reduce
development costs, and avoid licensing issues with firms that have proprietary estimating products.
Specifically, the proposed methodology addresses the five project cost estimate issues identified earlier
as follows:
Provides guidance on what hard construction and ancillary costs should be included for a variety of
mitigation project types
Does not include contingencies or allowances for change orders
Reinforces to the users that historical cost data is as useful as standard cost estimating references
Provides guidance on an appropriate level of detail to be included in a mitigation project cost
estimate
Provides helpful hints, reference values, and sample cost estimates to guide the user through the
cost estimating process
