INTRODUCTION
This appendix presents the cost estimates for the remedial alternatives being evaluated in
the Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) for the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River
(FFS Study Area), as follows (see FFS Chapter 4 for more detail on the alternatives):
•
Alternative 1: No Action
•
Alternative 2: Deep Dredging with Backfill
•
Alternative 3: Capping with Dredging for Flooding and Navigation
•
Alternative 4: Focused Capping with Dredging for Flooding
Each of the three active remedial alternatives (i.e., alternatives other than No Action) has
three dredged material management (DMM) scenarios (see FFS Chapter 4):
•
DMM Scenario A: Confined Aquatic Disposal (CAD)
•
DMM Scenario B: Off-site Disposal
•
DMM Scenario C: Local Decontamination and Beneficial Use
Cost estimates were developed in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) guidance for developing cost estimates for feasibility studies (USEPA,
2000).
The estimated cost for each active remedial alternative includes preconstruction costs,
dredging and capping costs, DMM capital and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs,
and operation and long-term O&M costs. Note that Alternative 1 does not involve any
active remediation and has no monetary cost. Preliminary cost estimates are based on
January 2014 costs. The Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index at the
time the estimates were finalized was 9664.45 (ENR, 2014). For comparison purposes,
costs for each remedial alternative were converted to Present Value 1 based on the project

Note that Net Present Value and Net Present Worth are other commonly used terms.

schedule shown in Figure 1-1. A seven percent discount rate was selected based on
USEPA guidance (USEPA, 1993).
Table 1-1 presents a summary of the present value for each remedial alternative.
Tables 1-2 through 1-10 provide summaries of the estimated cost for each remedial
alternative. Figures 1-2 through 1-4 show the process flow for the three dredged materials
management (DMM) scenarios. Table 1-11 presents the cash flow analysis for each
active remedial alternative. The basis of cost for each of the cost items is summarized in
the following sections of this appendix.
Unit prices were taken from a variety of published and unpublished sources including
RS Means, internal cost databases, and communications with contractors, suppliers,
vendors and other professional engaged in similar activities. Where appropriate, costs
were based on delivery of goods and services in Newark, New Jersey. Costs do not
include USEPA oversight.
Costs for acquisition of property for the upland processing facility are included in the cost
estimate. Costs associated with acquiring a leasehold or other interest in Newark Bay for
construction of the CAD are not included. Due to the opposition voiced by the state of
New Jersey to construction of a CAD in the bay, it was not possible to develop an
estimate of such costs.
Remediation costs for the upland processing site are not included in the cost estimate.
Because it is likely that upland support or sediment processing facility sites would be in
close proximity to the river, and potentially located on a former industrial site, it is not
unreasonable to assume that some remedial activities would be required at the site.
However, due to the unknown scope of this work, it is not possible to estimate the cost.
Similarly, costs for structural improvements to the soil at the site were not included in the
cost estimate. In addition, a variety of soil conditions exist in upland sites along the
Lower Passaic River which would affect site development; it is not possible at this stage
of the project to determine which conditions are likely to apply to the selected site. These
Appendix H: Cost Estimates
Lower Eight Miles of the Lower Passaic River
1-2
2014
conditions would impact each of the remedial alternatives evaluated since each DMM
scenario includes an upland support or sediment processing facility. There would be a
greater impact on DMM scenarios with larger upland sites and a smaller impact on DMM
scenarios with smaller upland sites. These factors would be evaluated during the site
selection process. Assuming an appropriate site selection process, these conditions would
not impact the relative costs of the various remedial alternatives.
Cost estimates in this appendix are provided so that comparisons among remedial
alternatives may be made in the FFS. Should a remedy be selected, detailed scopes of
work would be developed and project-specific costs developed.
Uncertainty of Cost Estimates
Estimated costs are expected to be within -30 to +50 percent of the actual costs.
However, a number of variables introduce a degree of uncertainty into the estimated costs
for the active remedial alternatives and DMM scenarios:
•
Uncertainty related to volume estimates (Appendix G). This arises to the inherent
need to project conditions over the FFS Study Area based on a limited number of
sampling points. Unidentified conditions could impact the volume of material to
be handled; actual volumes could either increase or decrease.
•
Uncertainty regarding project duration and schedule. A number of things could
impact the project duration including general weather conditions, natural and
man-made disasters, labor disputes, fish windows or other conditions identified
during the predesign investigation.
•
Uncertainty in the dredging productivity estimates based on site conditions
(Appendix F). Dredging productivity estimates were developed based on sitespecific conditions, information from vendors, pilot study results, and experience
at other major sediment projects in the area. If unforeseen conditions are
encountered during dredging, productivity could change.
•
Uncertainty in market conditions that would affect vendor pricing. In preparing
the cost estimate, information was obtained from vendors on various components
in the conceptual design. These prices are subject to change based on market
Appendix H: Cost Estimates
Lower Eight Miles of the Lower Passaic River

2014
conditions (e.g., the number and size of other dredging projects in the
northeastern United States) at the time the project contracts are let.
•
Uncertainty in inflation and interest rates (actual discount rate). Project costs will
ultimately be impacted by inflation rates and change in interest rates during
project implementation. Alternative 2, because it has the longest project duration,
is likely to be the most affected by changes in inflation and interest rates.
Alternative 3, because it requires long-term care of the engineered cap in
perpetuity, is also likely to be impacted by changes in interest rates and inflation
although the impact may not be as significant as for Alternative 2.
The impact of these and other major factors are evaluated in the sensitivity analysis
presented in Chapter 5 of the FFS.

Note: Variations in estimated construction start and end dates associated with the modeling may deviate slightly from estimated dates used in the cost estimates. In general the differences were minor and
resulted in completion dates for the model and cost estimates that were within six months of each other. This difference should have no impact on the relative Present Value costs of the different alternatives
