Total Final Project Cost: $4,360,955.21
Various project soft costs such as design, construction management, inspection and contract
administration, approximately 33% of the construction cost, were higher than the average 25%
to 30% soft costs spent to administer a project. These higher costs were mainly due to the
California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) design and permit requirements within
Caltrans' right of way and the increased construction management and inspection costs
overseeing multiple construction crews working day and night in order to meet the short
construction duration to minimize impacts to local residents, businesses and motorists.
Sufficient Capital Improvement Program funds are available to cover the total project cost, as
