Equipment and operator performance factors were based on generally published and <br />accepted 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 <br />estimated at approximately two months for backfilling, grading, and topsoiling. <br />The support equipment needed for the fleet size and time frame could then be <br />estimated. Mechanic labor rates were included in the lube truck cost. <br />Mobilization and Demobilization Costs. Mobilization and demobilization costs <br />were based on mobilizing the major pieces of equipment from Craig, Colorado. <br />CIRCES Cost Estimating Software was used to calculate the mobilization and <br />demobilization costs for initial reclamation, pond removal and site (rill and <br />gully) maintenance. <br />Indirect Costs <br />The following is an estimate of indirect costs associated with the reclamation <br />of the Hayden Gulch Loadout. <br />Contractor Profit and Overhead <br />Profit and overhead for the contractor was estimated using Graph 2, OSMRE <br />Reclamation Bond Handbook. This was estimated at 10 percent of the direct <br />costs. <br />Liability Insurance <br />This insurance protects the contractor against his legal liability to third <br />persons for bodily injury and property damage arising out of his own operations. <br />This cost has been estimated at 1.55 percent of the direct costs. <br />Contractors Performance Bond <br />The performance bond guarantees that the contract will be performed and that the <br />reclamation will be conducted to the satisfaction of the CDMG. This cost has <br />been estimated at 1.05 percent of the direct costs. <br />MR-16 6 Revised 11/07 <br />
