ADKO prepares an itemized engineer’s estimate at each submittal. The format will be consistent with the Caltrans Ready-to-List Guide. A BEES listing will be included, with appropriate SSP referenced adjacent to the contract item.
The unit costs shall be determined by reviewing similar recent project bid summaries, the most current Caltrans Contract Cost Data book, the California Highway Construction Cost Index information, and the Caltrans Engineering Service Center site. Prices will be adjusted using engineering judgment that refl ects the location of the project and the quantity of each item.
ADKO’s provides an independent check of the engineers estimate and makes sure no items are missing and quantities are justified.
