YV. ESTIMATED COSTS <br />The construction costs within this report include estimates for all <br />corridor grading and general travel lane improvements including bridges, <br />structural section, interchanges, partial landscaping, and arterial <br />highway realignments dictated by the corridor alignments. The cost of <br />grading general High - Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes is included but not the <br />cost of HOV structural section, bridges, median barriers or special access <br />ramps. It is intended that implementation of any transit guideway or SOV <br />facilities, if needed, would be provided from other funding sources. <br />Other costs included for both Corridors includes engineering design, <br />administration, construction inspection and right -of -way acquisition <br />costs. <br />it is proposed that developers will dedicate the majority of Tight -of -way <br />for the transportation corridors. The cost estimate includes a cost for <br />the portion of the right -of -way which would exceed a standard major <br />arterial highway constructed along the corridor alignment excluding slope <br />easements. The portion of right -of -way equivalent to a major arterial <br />highway is excluded from the estimate to maintain a policy consistent with <br />other arterial highway dedications. The cost of slope easements is <br />excluded because of the wide variations between the natural terrain condi- <br />tions and final development of adjacent lands, the inability to estimate <br />the easement areas with certainty, and for consistency with existing <br />arterial development policy. Right -of -way required to realign any inter- <br />secting arterial highway was also excluded from the cost estimate on the <br />assumption that it will be dedicated in accordance with established <br />development policy. The right -of -way to be included as part of the <br />corridor cost was assumed to have a value of 550,000 /acre. <br />A. SAN JOAQUIN HILLS <br />CORRIDOR (SJHTC) <br />The cost of constructing the SJHTC to the standard of improvement as <br />described in the previous section is based on estimates prepared for <br />the County during the Phase II SJHTC study work and is estimated to <br />be: <br />TABLE rV -1 <br />SAN JOAQUIN HILLS TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR COST <br />Constructtunr $259,736,000 <br />Engineering s Admin.- 38,960,000 <br />Contingencies: 25,974,000 <br />Right Of Way (in excess <br />of ,Major Arterial Hwy.): 16,990,000 <br />Total (for purposes <br />of Pee Program): $341,660,000 <br />-6- <br />
