This document is a Construction Cost Estimate Summary for the City of Meriden, Connecticut, specifically for emergency repairs to Bridge No. 04184 located on Oregon Road over the Quinnipiac River, scheduled for July 2025. The project involves several key construction items including construction access, disposal of lead debris, localized paint removal and field painting of existing steel, structural steel work, and traffic management using municipal police officers and uniformed flaggers. The total estimated project scope includes specific quantities for each item, such as 2 barrels of lead debris disposal, 20 square feet of paint removal, and 40 hours of uniformed flagger services.

The total project cost is estimated at $150,000, broken down into a base construction estimate of $104,000 for structural contract items, with additional costs for maintenance and protection of traffic (6.0% or $7,000), mobilization and project closeout (7.0% or $8,000), incidentals (15.0% or $18,000), and contingencies (10.0% or $12,000). The cost estimate includes provisions for potential additional items and reflects a comprehensive approach to bridge repair that accounts for potential complexities such as lead paint removal, structural steel work, and traffic management during the construction period.
