Ri11 and Gully Repair. A cost to conduct the ri 11 and gully repair (including sediment <br />. ponds) has been included i n this estimate. It has been assumed that this task could be <br /> handled locally with a 146, Series III Dozer and annually would take 16 hours to perform. <br /> This would continue for the 10 year liability period. *** <br />Fleet Determination <br />Once the volumes for the various phases of reclamation were determined, the number of <br />shifts, hours per shift, equipment types, operator/operating efficiencies, support <br />equipment, and overall reclamation time span, all of which ultimately affect mobilization <br />and demobilization, had to be determined. The following discussion provides the <br />considerations utilized in determining the equipment fleet needed. <br />Production Shifts. Keeping with current practice locally, one shift per day was used for <br />this estimate. Using one shift per day would allow for preventative maintenance and minor <br />equipment repair to occur on second shift, if needed. Shifts were based on an eight-hour <br />period per shift. A conservative work hour factor of 95 minutes/hour was used. <br />. Equipment Typea. The types of equipment selected were based on similar type equipment <br />presently operating in or around Routt County. Whenever possible, Caterpillar equipment <br />was used for reclamation due to widely published information regarding costs and <br />performance. All equipment costs were taken from those provided by CDMG. Please see <br />appropriate worksheets in Attachment 23-1 for a list of all cost factors. Equipment <br />performance was based on Caterpillar Handbook No. 29, EMF, Means, FPC, ASTRO II, or <br />otherwise as noted. <br />Equipment and operator performance factors were based on generally published and accepted <br />criteria (see individual worksheets). <br />Operator wages were all based on information supplied by CDMG. ++ <br />Reclamation Time Frame. A reasonable time frame for a job of this magnitude is estimated <br />at approximately two months for backfill ing, grading, and topsoiling. The support <br />equipment needed for the fleet size and time frame could then be estimated. Mechanic <br />labor rates were included in the lobe truck cast. <br />`J <br />5 Revised O6/00 <br />
