For a direct comparison, he
looked at a conventional project
similar to the S.R. 211 structure
and found a cost of about $170
per square foot. The actual cost for
the S.R. 211 project was $218 per
square foot.
"If you look at that 28-percent
increase to get this thing done in
two months – that's huge," he says.
"But when I compared the proj-
ects one-to-one, the first project
including an overall roadway, all
the roadway costs were about
$2.64 million. The S.R. 211 project
was let at a bid amount of $2.68
million. So in this case, comparing
the two projects there was only
a 1.4-percent difference. That's a
shock to me. I was pretty pleased
with that."
