Chapter 5. Cost EstimatesFunding for the design and construction of M-Path improvements willcome from a variety of sources, including but not limited to MiamiDade Transit, Miami-Dade County, Florida Department of Transportation, developer agreements and grant sources. The following planning-level cost estimate has been developed to determine the fundingneeds for the project management, design, and construction of theproposed improvements to the M-Path trail.Unit types and prices are based on the current set price from the Miami-Dade County Public Works Department (June 2006). The current set price is the average of unit prices on projects completed forM-PATH IMPROVEMENTM-PathImprovement Cost Estimate TableBase BidItem No.123456789101112Miami-Dade County from January 2006 to June 2006. Soft costs arebased on experience with similar projects and a range of standard percentages used by the Florida Department of Transportation for designand construction administrative services.The cost to remove, realign, and resurface the entire M-Path corridor,not including other improvements, is approximately 1.5 million. Acost-saving measure was included in the estimate by using all asphaltmaterial removed from realignment segments as additional base material for the widening and resurfacing of the trail.The estimated cost of phased improvements as described in Chapter 4, Development Phasing Plan, is 683,524.55 for short-term improvements and 2,512,435.82 for long-term ive Bollards (non-lit)Advance Warning Signsa Advance Warning Sign with "250 FT" placardb Warning Sign at Intersection Crosswalk with arrow placardInterpretive Wayfinding SignDirectional SignsEmergency Call BoxBridges ( /- 102 ft span)Landscape Buffer (18")Low Landscape (Grass)Colored cross Walks - inlcudes sub-base - BaseRaised colored cross Walks (6") - inlcudes sub-base - BaseTypical Plaza treatment (sign, marking, fountain etc)New Asphalt Patha Lime rock baseLime rock baseLime rock base (use demolished path materials)b Type B Stabilizationc Type S-1 Asphaltic Concreted Asphaltic Concrete Friction Course (FC-3)Resurfacing of existing Patha 1" Milling of existing Asphalt Pathb Type S-1 Asphaltic Concretec Asphaltic Concrete Friction Course (FC-3)Pavement Markings (6" wide)Pavement Markings (12' Cross Walk, 12" white @ 24")Pavement Markings (24" White)Pavement Markings (Letters and Symbols)Wrought iron safety fencingLighting including Pole, Luminaire, Conduit etc.Pedestrian signal head with timer with wire, conduit etc.Concrete CurbsCurb IslandRemove Asphalt PathSubtotalDesign & Constr.
