A Tool for Estimating the True Cost of Underground Utility Excavation Incidents

       Fire Dept. $
      Duration: hours
      Vehicle Number: * 81.4$/vehicle from Fire Dept.
      Labor-Captain Number:*35$/Captain
      Labor-Operator Number:*31$/Operator
      Labor-Firefighter Number:*24$/Firefighter

       Ambulance $
      Duration: hours
      Vehicle Number: * 40.5$/Amublance
      Labor-Driver Number:*11$/Driver
      Labor-Paramedics Number:*17.52$/Paramedics

       Police Dept. $
      Duration: hours
      Vehicle Number: * 15.69$/vehicle from Police Dept.
      Labor-Officer/Chiefs/Leutenants Number:*21.4$/Person

       Other Emergency Responder Cost $
      Duration: hours
      Prosecutors Office/Arson Unit/etc. Number:*$/Person
      (Vehicle Number)*(Vehicle Cost)*(time)+(Labor Number)*(Labor Cost)*(time)

       =(m3)×1.2/3000×1.10%× ($)
       (Excavated Volume) × 1.2/3000*1.10%×(Direct costs of project)

Pavement Service Life Reduction=(m) × 110 ($/m)
       (Excavation lengh) ×(Estimate decrease in road surface value)

       Loss of Parking Meter $ (Recommend Value: 91-239$/day)
      =(Num)* ($/g)* (%)* Project Duration(h)
      (Parking Space Number)*(Meter Rate)*(Occupancy Frequency)*(Duration)

       Loss of Parking Fine $
      =($)* (Frequency)* Project Duration(h)
      (Ticketing fee)*(Frequency of Ticketing)*(Duration)

       Traffic Delay Cost $ (Recommend Value: 45$/day -8477 as max)

      DT= (km)/ (km/h) - (km)/ (km/h)
      DT(Delay Time(h)) = (Length of work zone including detours)/(Speed through work zone - (Length of working zone in normal situation)/(Normal speed)

      CD= DT(Delay Time(h))* ($/person/h)* (person/vehicle)
      CD(Cost of Delay per vehicle)=(Delay time)*(Value of Time)*(Average Person Num per Vehicle)

      TDC= CD(Cost of Delay per vehicle)* (vehicle/day)* (days)
      TCD(Total Traffic Delay Costs)=(Cost of Delay per vehicle)*(Vehicle Num per day)*(Projection duration by day)

       Increased Vehicular Operating Costs $ (Recommend Value:29$/day -2581$/day)
      = (km)* ($/km-vehicle)* (Num/h)*Project Duration(h)
      (Increased Travel Distance)*(Operating Cost Allowance)*(Number of vehicles/hour)*(Duration)

       Loss of Pedestrain Travel Time $
      = ($/h)* (num)* (h/person)* Project Duration(h))
      (Value of Time)*(Number of Pedestrians)*(Increased Travel Time)*(Duration)

       Increased Collision Rate $
      = ($/km)* (km) (Num/day)* Project Duration(day)
      (Avg Cost of Collisions)*(Route length)*(AADT-Number of Vehicels/day)*(Project duration by day)

       Property Damage $

       Loss of Business $ (Recommend Value:433$/day -2624$/day)
      =(Num)* ($/unit/day)*Project Duration(h)* (%)
      (Num of affected business unites)*(Average daily incomme of business unit)*(Duration)*(Percentage of business loss during construction)

       Cost of Noise Pollution $ (Recommend noise cost: 8$/day)
      = (num)*(project duration)* ( ($/h) - ($/h))
      (Number of affected inhabitans)*(Project duration in days)*{(Noise cost value during construction work)-(Nose cost value pre-constructionn situation)}

       Air Pollution $
      = ($/metric ton) * (metric tons)
      (Volumetric emission cost)*(emmitted volume)

       Cost of Dust Pollution $ (Recommend Value:61$/day -149$/day)
      = (h/week)* ($/h)*(Duration in Weeks)
      (Additional cleaning times)*(Wage)*(Duration in Weeks)
