<br />is $125 per hour with a breakdown of $ 25 per hour for operator cost, $ 50 per hour for <br />ownership cost and $ 50 per hour for operating and overhaul cost. <br />The amount of topsoil required to be replaced on the 6 acres of regraded overburden <br />and 0.45 acres of haulroad is calculated based on the soil depths from the exploration <br />holes in these areas to be 1.2 feet thick. This equates to a volume of 13,107 LCY which <br />needs to be respread. The unadjusted production rate of these scrapers, assuming a <br />haul distance of 600 feet and an average slope of 5 percent is calculated to equal 235 <br />LCY per hour, which equals an adjusted production rate of 176 LCY per hour. <br />Based on these calculations it can be calculated that it will take 74.47 hours to reapply <br />the topsoil onto this site. This translates into a total job cost for topsoiling to $ 9,309. <br />E. Revegetation Costs. The reseeding costs for the 6.77 acres will consist of seed costs <br />of $ 35 per acre for the 5.15 acres corresponding to the upland areas and $ 60 per acre <br />for the 1.62 acres corresponding to the wetland areas. This translates into a cost of $ <br />180 for seed on the upland areas and $ 97 per acre for the wetland areas, for a total <br />seed cost of $ 277. The cost for obtaining and planting 11 Willow and Cottonwood <br />transplants in the wetland areas is $ 100. <br />Seedbed preparation in the form of chisel plowing will be $ 110 per acre and total $ 746 <br />for the entire mine site. Actual seeding costs will be $ 65 per acre and total $ 440 for <br />the entire site. A 16-7-12 fertilizer will be applied at a rate of 100 pounds per acre at a <br />rate of $ 1.20 per pound with a total cost of $ 812 of the entire site. Clean straw or <br />native hay mulch applied will be applied at a rate of one ton per acre at a cost of $ 200 <br />per acre for a total cost of $ 1,354. Given the excellent quality of topsoil and high rate <br />of revegetation success in this area it is extremely unlikely that any of the revegetation <br />areas will need to be reseeded to compensate for seedling failure. The total <br />revegetation cost for this site is $ 3,729. <br />The total direct reclamation costs for this project are calculated to be $ 47,143. <br />Indirect Reclamation Costs. The following indirect reclamation costs are calculated as <br />required by the DMG bond calculations. <br />Contractor's Overhead and Profit. <br />Public Liability Insurance <br />Contractor's Performance Bond <br />Contractor's Profit <br />1.55 % of direct $ 730 <br />0.9375 % of direct $ 442 <br />10.00% of direct cost 4 716 <br />Subtotal $ 5,888 <br />Total Construction Contract Amount <br />DMG Project Administration Expenses <br />$ 53,031 <br />28 <br />
