CHAPTER 12.5
COST ESTIMATE COMPARISONS
Two studies have been prepared in connection with cost estimates
on this project which point up certain relevant facts. In the first of
these studies, estimated costs for each of the various features of work
performed at the Eniwetok Froving Ground were compared with the actual
costs incurred as collected in the various cost centers established by
fiscal procedures. The second study constituted an analysis of the
actual costs of major features of construction and a comparison of
these costs to estimates of costs of comparable construction at a West
Coast location in order to establish an empirical multiplying factor
for construction at Eniwetok, The results of these studies are set
forth at length hereinbelow.
