Default Task Cost fields

In the upper-right corner of the Rehab Work Tasks and Costs module, there are seven fields that store default costs. These fields enable an agency to distinguish the cost of a task based on the access conditions around the pipe. Is the task to be performed on a pipe near/under a paved or unpaved road. Is it easy to get to the pipe or difficult.

Default Task Cost

Easy Access/Unpaved Pipes

Difficult Access/Unpaved Pipes

Easy Access/Paved Pipes

Difficult Access/Paved Pipes

Easy Access/Heavy Traffic Pipes

Difficult Access/Heavy Traffic Pipes

These fields record the cost (per foot) to perform the specified rehab task on six different pipe classifications (at left). These classifications cover pipes up to 10 feet deep.

Note: Pipes are assigned to these categories using the parameters established in the Accessibility and Surface Types setup modules.

Cost per each VF > 10 ft

Use this field to record the cost (per vertical foot) to perform the specified rehab task on pipes at a depth in excess of 10 feet. The model uses the pipe's average depth to calculate this cost.
