Installation:
Average Siren Installation Phase I
Initial Bid - $3,420/site
Final Cost - $5,841/site (This $2,421 increase per site was due to
change orders caused by rock excavation and adjustments to
sites.)
Estimated Average Siren Installation for Phase II
$3,420.00 - Average Initial Installation Cost
1,077.20 - Rock Excavation and Site Adjustments
$4,497.20 x 9 = $40,474.80
Total Estimated Cost of Sirens and Installation = $117,064.80
While $117,064.80 is well below the $150,000 budgeted amount, there exists a
great deal of unknowns regarding sub-surface rock and site preparation, as well
as, the need for easements.
