Cost of Engineering Services

The cost of engineering services for this project includes personnel costs, supply costs, and travel costs. Personnel costs are comprised of the billing rates for the Senior Engineer, Design Engineer, Civil Engineer Intern, and Environmental Engineer Intern. Personnel billing rates are based on employee hourly rates, employee benefits, company overhead costs, and profit. The labor costs were calculated by multiplying staffing hours for each position by the corresponding billable rate. Labor costs were found by researching existing job listings near the location of the project. The cost of supplies for this project includes membership for AZWA for each team member and computer lab rental so that the team can access software such as Civil 3D and Revu Bluebeam for design. Travel costs for the team include car rental, gas, per diem, and hotels for overnight trips; these costs were obtained from NAU’s comptroller website.
