ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST Rosewood Drive Extension (See Attached Concept Plan For Illustration) Estimated Length (feet) = 630 Estimated Width (feet) = 32 Note: This project includes the extension of public utilities and street infrastructure along Rosewood Drive as per the attached MSA concept plan dated 6/3/2025. This estimate includes the extension of 8" sanitary sewer main along the new street as well as new sanitary laterals (assume 7 total - 2 lots have existing laterals off existing mainline). This estimate includes the extension of new 8" water main along the new street as well as new water services (assume 8 total - 1 existing service off the existing main). This estimate includes the installation of storm sewer piping and structures along the new public street as well as the construction of a storm water management pond. This estimate also includes the installation of the new roadway gravel base, asphalt, curb (both sides of the street), and concrete sidewalk (both sides). Assume 66' wide R/W.

The quantities and prices are the best estimate at this time and should be re-computed after a more detailed engineering study is performed and plans are prepared. The costs associated with administration, financing, inflation (due to delayed project phasing), etc. are not included. All costs are assumed to be 2025 construction costs. 2. The utility pipe sizes and quantities are estimated and will require further study to determine the appropriate sizes, types, and configurations. The cost for site earthwork and grading is estimated and should be re-computed after a more detailed engineering study is performed and plans are prepared. 3. Costs are based upon "normal" construction conditions. There is no allowance for poor sub-soil conditions, poor native backfill conditions, high bedrock, high groundwater, or any other un-foreseen conditions that would require extra effort from the contractor. 4. Costs for engineering are an estimate at this time based on a percentage of the total construction costs. These costs should be re-computed after a more detailed engineering scope/proposal is determined thru consultation with the City. 7 7/16/2025 00212056 Rosewood Drive Extension 071625.xls
