Carl McCall SUNY Building  \n353 Broadway-Albany, NY 12246  \n[www.sucf.suny.edu](www.sucf.suny.edu)  \nA. PREFACE  \nThis PROJECT COST REPORTING GUIDE has been prepared for use in conjunction with the State University Construction Fund’s (the “Fund”) Consultant’s Agreements.  \nThe purpose of this Guide is to present and clarify the Fund’s requirements under Contract Article I for estimating and reporting project costs, outline acceptable cost estimation methods and establish reporting format for various scopes of work. This Guide is not intended to be a training manual for consultants or their estimators, nor does it attempt to offer guidance in every instance of variation of project detail which is inevitable in SUCF projects. Please communicate any questions regarding the use and application of this Guide to your Fund representative.  \nThis guide is to be used in conjunction with the Fund’s program directives. Discuss any potential conflicts with your Fund representative.  \nThis Guide includes information regarding:  \nGeneral Requirements  \nProject Scope Classifications  \nPhase Submission Requirements for Estimates  \nEstimate Content Descriptions  \nDeliverables  \nCopyrights and Confidentiality  \nValue Engineering  \nAppendixes  \nB. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS  \n1. Requirements for all submissions  \na. All estimates, at all phases except for Program Verification/Concept phase, will have line item costs broken out into labor and materials. Equipment costs, where appropriate, must be included in the material column. Labor and material cost breakouts must not be “proportional,” i.e. having a blanket percentage applied to unit prices. They must reflect an actual analysis of the labor hours and productivity rates required to perform a task and the actual cost of materials for an item.  \nb. Follow Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format for all estimates. The Fund has no specific direction for versions of CSI to use however the estimate must conform to the design consultant’s specification coding as it applies to the project. The format must be consistent throughout the project phases.  \nc. The level of detail included in the estimate must relate to the level of documents the estimate is based on. If certain objects or items of construction work are identified on the phase submission drawings then that work must be identified in a line item in the estimate. Where quantities can be measured or calculated, lump sums or square-foot pricing will not be accepted. Refer to section D for further clarification.  \nd. Estimates must include costs that are required to complete the construction project. Work not shown must be conceptualized. Conceptualizations must be verified with the design team for acceptability and intent , and described in an accompanying narrative. It is unacceptable to use contingency funds to provide funding for a scope of work even if it is not shown on phase drawings or not yet designed.  \ne. Labor cost must be consistent with the NYS Department of Labor prevailing wage rates and staffing definitions. Use the most current rates as found on the Department of Labor’s website. Verify if any special labor conditions or Project Labor Agreements (PLA’s) will be in effect ; if so use the appropriate wages as required by the agreement where they differ. Document all labor costs used by showing the base wage rate, insurance rates, benefits, taxes, and describe any blended rates using apprentices and multiple trades.
