COST ENGINEERING POLICY AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1.
Purpose.
This regulation provides cost engineering policy,
guidance,
and procedures for all projects assigned to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE)
for Civil Works, Military, and
Environmental Restoration Programs.
Additional guidance is
provided in specific cost engineering regulations for civil
works, military,
and environmental restoration programs.
2.
Applicability.
This regulation applies to all HQUSACE, major
subordinate commands (MSC), districts, laboratories, and all
field operating activities (FOA).
3.

5.
Objective.
The objective of cost engineering is to focus
4
"...w
USACE leadership on the effective development, management, and
control of cost estimates to ensure funds are adequately
programmed, authorized,
and appropriated in all phases of the
project.
The
USACE
ability to provide quality project estimates
is an essential element of our support to our customers and
partners for the successful accomplishment of the project.
6.
Policy.
a.
The expertise,
cost data bases,
estimating programs,
responsibility,
and accountability will be centralized in the
cost engineering branch.
-
b.
Development of cost estimates which reflect total project
costs,
including life cycle cost analysis, is an absolute
requirement,
since it has a direct impact on the financial
resources of local sponsors/partners or customers.
C. Planning and/or budget
estimates
should be carefully
documented with contingencies,
and thoroughly analyzed and or
evaluated to explain the associated risks.
d.
The
estimates
should
include
design
assumptions
and
the
proposed construction processes
so
that
future
design
changes
or
,i$J
construction modifications can be analyzed for cost impacts.
