Guide Purpose

> The Department of Energy is committed to producing quality cost and
> schedule estimates in support of the budget, planning, and actual
> performance of the construction program for all Department of Energy
> sites. The expectations for cost and schedule estimating are such that
> the quality of the estimates will be commensurate with the maturity of
> the project during the project life cycle.
>
> The purpose of the DOE Cost Estimating Guide for Program and Project
> Management (DOE Cost Estimating Guide) is to provide uniform guidance
> and best practices that describe the methods and procedures used in
> all programs and projects at DOE for preparing cost estimates.

Guide Scope

Provide guidance and establish DOE expectations for cost estimating to
ensure consistent, traceable, and realistic cost estimates in support of
DOE projects and programs. It is intended to ensure that the information
generated from these estimates, both preliminary and final, be made
available for future use, lessons learned, and trending. The final
outcome shall be cost estimates that provide adequate information to
Department of Energy, Department of Energy sites and contractors, and
potential contract bidders, to support the Department of Energy
construction program and the individual projects.

**Key Interfaces and Dependencies**

Cost Estimating interfaces to some degree with all the other guides
being developed. These dependencies will be continually addressed to
ensure no conflicts arise. Also it is intend to modify schedule as
required to take advantage of the cost estimating workshop being
conducted in the spring.
