VI. Bonding
-2B-
The emphasis of this review was to determine whether the reclamation
cost estimates provided in the revised permit application are sufficient
at the present time to cover the total cost of reclaiming worst case
disturbance at the mine if the work had to be preformed by the State
through the use of independent contractors. Items checked during the
review consisted of:
1. Estimated hourly equipment costs, labor rates, and unit costs;
2. Estimated hourly production for various earthmoving and reclamation
activities;
3. An evaluation of the worst case disturbance within the present
permit term; and,
4. An evaluation of whether all required reclamation tasks have been
adequately covere d in the bond estimate.
References used to evaluate hourly costs and production figures
consisted of:
Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment - 1985 Update;
Means Building Construction Cost Data - 1985 Update; and,
Caterpillar Performance Handbook - Edition 15.
1. Estimated Hourly Equipment Costs, Labor Rates, and Unit Costs
A. Cost/hr for Motor
Base rate: i
Location adj.
Operator wages
Operating Cost,
Grader (use Cat 16G)
mo. - rs mo. = 565.68
565.68 x 1.05 = S 68.96/hr
(from Means Cost Data) = 20.20/hr
/hr = 26.25/hr
TOTAL HOURLY COST = ~TT5-4T/hr
B. Cost/hr for Dozer (use Cat D-9L)
Note: The D-9H referred to on page 3.01-3 of the revised
app ication is a discontinued model no longer included in the
Rental Rate Blue Book or Cat Handbook. Although the D-9L has a
higher base rental rate than the D-9H, overall costs are
considered equivalent due to the increased productivity of the
"L" series over the "H" series.
Base rate: E16,700.00/mo. - 176 hrs/mo. = 594.89
Location adj. = E94.87 x 1.05 = 3 99.63/hr
Operator wages (from Means Cost Data) = 20.20/hr
Operating Cost/hr = 43.05/hr
