», COST ANALYSIS The identification of line items is as important as the costs themselves. Overlooking a line item can create a difficult cash-flow management situation many times more critical than simply being low on a budget estimate. The purposes of this portion of the study are to identify the scope of work, to discuss the execution in detail and to affix a cost to each portion of the work. However, it is important to note that not all of the planned bunkers can be constructed in this phase because of the repositioning of a feirway or green. The costs are broken down into two areas: Pre-construction and hard-construction. The post construction costs which include grow-in, are normally a part of our study, have not been evaluated by John Fought Design since this information will be organized by Bob Distel and his capable staff During the course of this study, line item costs have been identified. However, should the construction process and scope of work be broken up into a series of years, or the timing of the work be scheduled during a difficult season (i.e. late fall), the cost associated with each line may materially change. Although we have not included a budgeted line item for a contingency, an allowance of 5 • 10% is suggested. Once a definite scope of work and schedule is approved, tty'' ^ contractor bid will provide real numbers. PRE-CQNSTRUCnON LINE fTEMS Portions of pre-construction costs precede construction while the remainder is spread throughout the construction and sometimes even into the grow-in phase. These line items define the funds required for the proper construction documentation of the project and the consultations during the construction. Please note that the irrigation sy.Jtem has not been evaluated in our study. Should the system need to be modified a qua?jfied irrigation engineer will need to be employed. The line items in this category are: DESIGN ENGINEERING* OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES SOIL TESTING
