The procedure used at that time was based upon the determination of domestic unit costs for each feature of construction, material, labor, equipment, and transportation. To the domestic costs thus determined, there were added the costs attendant upon the performance of services at Eniwetok Atoll. Upon the completion of the Reconnaissance Re~ port Estimate it was found that the cost of construction at Eniwetok was a factor of 1.96 greater than the costs of performing comparable services on the West Coast of the United States, and this multiplier was used in the development of subsequent cost estimates. The total estimated cost of construction, including costs of design engineering and fees, was $32,466,371. From this total, deductions were ‘made for government-furnished water transportation, government—furnished equipment, and government—furnished labor for construction on Eniwetok Atoll, in the amounts of $1,819,196, $1,819,000, and $2,390,765 respec- tively. Thus, the net total estimated construction cost (including engi- neering costs and fees) was $26,437,410. The actual cost of construction performed by H & N at Eniwetok Atoll as of June 30, 1951 was $24,714,932, including the cost of all engineering services and allocahle fees. If one divides the net estimate as given above by the factor 1.966, thus reversing the estimating process used in developing estimated con- struction costs at Eniwetok, to arrive at an estimated domestic cost of construction for comparable facilities constructed in a comparable manner, (i.e,, using the same proportions of government-furnished equipment, transportation, and labor), the resultant estimated domestic cost is $13,442,523, Division of the actual. cost of construction at Eniwetok by the estimated domestic cost thus arrived at ($24,714,932 divided by $13,442,523) results in a factor of 1.838. An alternative miltiplying factor can be arrived at by assuming that the contingency factor used in the preparation of those estimates which 12-27
