<br />NON STRUCTURAL COST SUMMARY <br /> <br />This report has discussed many nons truc tural measures. <br /> <br />Each <br /> <br />structure, is unique and must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis not <br /> <br />only for the appropriate <br />the individual measure, <br /> <br />type of measure but also for the design of <br />As discussed earlier, the intent of this <br /> <br />report is to provide information to town officials and residents so <br /> <br /> <br />they may conduct an initial assessment to help them decide which <br /> <br /> <br />measures they should pursue further. <br /> <br />The most practical nonstructural alternatives are those with a <br /> <br /> <br />benefit-cost ratio greater than 1,0, Table 8 summarizes costs for the <br /> <br />" <br />flood proofing alternatives. " <br /> <br />Table 9 provides information concerning benefits to individuals. <br /> <br /> <br />The locations of individual structures are shown in figure 6. For <br /> <br /> <br />example, if Goering Construction wanted to determine if adding a <br /> <br /> <br />waterproof seal with a brick veneer around its building was practical, <br /> <br /> <br />it could would divide the estimated benefit of $24,400 by the <br /> <br /> <br />approximate cost of the waterproofing, Assuming 3,5 feet high brick <br /> <br /> <br />veneer with a waterproof seal between th~ building and the veneer and <br /> <br /> <br />a te1;al building length of 400 feet, the~. total cost at $2.10 per <br />- . ~- <br /> <br />squar~ foot of surface area would be about:$3';000, The ben~fit-cost <br /> <br /> <br />ratio would be $24,400 co $3,000 or 8. indicating to the business <br /> <br /> <br />owner that this alternative should be pursued furcher. <br /> <br />- <br />, <br /> <br />35 <br />
