Identify staffing needs, including: <br /> <br />a. Administrative <br />b. Opera tions <br />c. Research <br />d. Maintenance <br />e. Part-time, student or intern. <br /> <br />2. Derive wage and salary rates for each staffing category, <br /> <br />3, Project labor costs, including benefit costs. <br /> <br />4, Identify non-labor operation and maintenance cost categories, including: <br /> <br />a. Utilities costs, such as electric power, gas, potable water, sewage system <br />changes, and trash disposal, as appropriate. <br /> <br />b. Consumable materials. <br /> <br />c. Water supply cost for hatchery operation. <br /> <br />5. Derive unit costs and consumption or use factors for each utility category and <br />project total utility costs. <br /> <br />6. Project the costs for consumable supplies, spare parts. and replacement <br />equipment used for administration, research, operation, and maintenance <br />associated with the hatchery. <br /> <br />7. Project the costs of chemicals used for water or waste treatment. <br /> <br />8. Identify costs for: fish stocking and tagging, <br /> <br />9. Sum the above operation and maintenance costs to derive an overall annual cost <br />for the hatchery. As in estimating the capital costs for the facility, Task 8, the <br />operation and maintenance costs will be estimated in detail for a selected <br />scenario and scaled for the other two scenarios. The annual costs will be <br />estimated for the first year (in an economic sense) of operation of the hatchery. <br /> <br />10, If desired by the CWCB, the annual cost can be escalated for each of the <br />projected years of the design life of the facility and present worth factors <br />applied, in order to derive a present worth cost for operation and maintenance <br />for each of the scenarios. When added to the estimated capital costs, this would <br />permit an economic comparison of each site and scenario to be made. <br /> <br />17 <br />
