The General tab stores detailed cost and project information. This includes the length of new pipe installed as well as the pipe length replaced after completion of the original project. In addition, you can record the designer, inspector, and contractor who worked on the project. You can also record the project's index number, a description of the project, the capital improvement project number, council district, and mapping information. Fields are also provided to record the design cost, construction cost, and inspection costs. Additionally, a number of user-defined date fields can be found on this tab.
Several fields in this tab have special functions. These are described below:
Field Name |
Special Function/Calculations |
Total Cost |
The Total Cost field sums all of the values from the Design, Construction, and Inspection Cost fields. |
Project Units Project UOM |
The Project Units and Unit of Measure fields allow you to indicate the number of units involved in the project. |
Unit Cost |
The Unit Cost field takes the value in the Total Cost field and divides it by the value in the New Pipe Inst (ft) field; thus giving you the unit cost. |
Orig Pipe Rem (ft) |
The Original Pipe Remaining field takes the value in the Pipe Replaced (ft) field and subtracts it from the New Pipe Inst (ft) field; thus giving you the amount (in feet) of original pipe remaining. |
