Costs for water main pipe were taken from recent project bid tabulations and were
approximated to include connections and other typical construction activities. Pipe 10” and
smaller is assumed to be PVC. Pipe 12” and larger is assumed to be ductile iron.
COST TABLES
The following tables show the estimated utility infrastructure costs for the proposed
Program Allocations. Costs were divided to show the magnitude of funding required by the
City of Chesapeake, HRSD, and Developers. As was noted above, pipe sizes and locations
for serving non-residential areas are highly dependent on the site- and process-specifc
needs of individual properties. Therefore, many non-residential costs are approximated
based on the footage of the roadway networks in the areas. Sewer pump stations and
force mains and the intermediate water transmission main distances are estimated based
on the proposed Master Land Use Plan and the size of the development areas. Funding
sources for the developer-constructed public infrastructure will be identifed and agreed
upon as development progresses. All costs assume complete build out of the Corridor,
per the Program Allocations. All lengths and sizes of proposed utility infrastructure are
approximate. All costs are estimated in 2014 dollars.
NOTE:
Costs for
the future HRSD
Interceptor and water
transmission main are
shown as the shortest
and longest routing
options. Depending on
the alignment chosen,
costs are expected to be
within this range. These
approximate costs do
not include easement or
right-of-way acquisition.
