Appendix – Cost Estimates 

Cost Assumptions 

All costs are in 2005 dollars 

Cost Per Horse Power 

The required horsepower was calculated with the power routine in the spreadsheet. It accounts 

for static and dynamic heads. A redundancy factor of 1.25 was used. 

New Installation 

Full cost of pumps, controls and structures. 

East Juab Study22 (Draft) $1150/HP (SBWSS34) $1340/HP 

Using the cost curve in Sanks33 (corrected with ENR-CCI) which was based on gallons per 

minute EC Intake $1,500/HP LC Intake $1,300/HP 

Sanks was determined to be reasonable due to the respective difficulties building the inlet 

structures. For booster pump plants, $1,150/HP was used. 

Upgrade Horse Power 

Full cost of pumps and controls installed only. No structure 

East Juab Study $500/HP (SBWSS34 ) $440/HP Used $490/HP 

On Option 5, it was assumed that the intake plant and booster pump plant would be built in their 

entirety at the beginning of the project, with the pumping capacity added as needed. Therefore, 

for the 8,750 acre-feet and 12,500 acre-feet estimates, the pump plant costs were calculated as 

the new horsepower cost, minus the upgrade horsepower cost. This provides the cost of the 

buildings, which would be built at the beginning of the project. Then the pump horsepower was 

added at the upgrade cost as needed. 

Treatment Plant 

Treatment Plant and upgrade capital costs were taken from actual costs of the existing facilities. 

This is reasonable for cost comparison purposes. Actual costs would probably be higher. 

Building 0.40 $/gpd = $400,000 /mgd 

WTP Expansion 0.90 $/gpd = $900,000 /mgd 

It was assumed that treatment costs would be equal for each Option for comparison purposes. In 

reality the costs would differ somewhat due to different water characteristics. 

Sanks uses 5 percent of capitol cost for pumps and controls as a reasonable estimate of 

maintenance costs. Treatment maintenance was calculated at 5 percent of equipment which was 

calculated as capacity times the WTP expansion cost, plus 1 percent of building cost (1 percent is 

a real estate industry standard for building maintenance costs). 

Treatment Plant wastewater disposal costs were not included. It was assumed that these costs 

would be equal, and could be ignored for comparison purposes. 

East Canyon Pipeline Costs 

Ductile iron pipe prices are from a supplier. 

Butterfly valve price is from a supplier. 
A-2

Tees and elbows are a multiple of the per foot pipe price. The multiple was obtained from 

RSMeans 24 inch pipe prices. 

Installation costs per piece is estimated from RSMeans 24 inch pipe costs. 

Power Costs 

Pump and pipeline power costs were calculated using Utah Power’s Schedule No. 8 rates for 

high demand uses, and Schedule No. 6 for moderate demand uses (less than 1,000 kW). 

Historical water demand for Park City was used for monthly demand distribution. Water 

demand was phased in at 525 acre-feet per year until capacity was reached. 

Treatment plant power costs were determined by calculating the high month power cost using 

Schedule No. 8, and dividing that by the plant capacity for a unit cost, which is included in the 

treatment costs. SWDC’s power requirements were used, and the calculated unit cost matched 

the unit cost provided by MRSSD. This does not account for lower costs during lower usage 

months, but since both water treatment plants have the same treatment costs applied, this was 

acceptable for comparison purposes. 

Treatment Costs 

SWDC’s power use estimate for the highest month was used to determine a unit cost of power 

for treatment. This corresponded closely with the power costs estimated by MRWSSD. For 

other treatment costs, $50 per thousand gallons was used. 

Life Cycle Costs 

Life cycle costs include capital costs (both new facilities and sunk cost in existing facilities), use 

of facilities charges, operation maintenance and replacement costs, and the cost of water. The 

life cycle costs were calculated at present worth using the rates from Office of Management and 

Budget Circular No. A-94 dated January 2005. Since the design life is 50 years, the 30 year rates 

of 5.2 percent nominal interest rate and 3.1 percent real interest rate were used to discount future 

expenditures. An exception to this was necessary for use of facilities for the options involving 

JSSD. JSSD imposed a 4 percent escalator to their use of facilities charges. Using the 4 percent 

as the inflation factor yields a 1.2 percent real interest rate for discounting the JSSD use of 

facilities costs. This significantly increases the life cycle costs for the JSSD options. If real 

inflation exceeds the projected inflation of 2.1 percent, or JSSD reduces their escalation factor to 

match the inflation projection, the JSSD life cycle costs would decrease significantly to where 

the JSSD Option could be competitive. 

Deferred construction costs and pump replacement costs were discounted using Equation 1 

below. Annual operation and maintenance costs were discounted using Equation 2 below.

 n = number of years 

For power, treatment, and water costs, both equations were used. Each cost was calculated using 

Equation 1 in tabular form in 525 acre-feet per year increments until capacity was reached. 

From the year capacity was reached to year 50, Equation 2 was used. The 525 acre-feet per year 

increment was used to reach the projected need in 2030. 

Pump Replacement 

Recommended replacement frequency is from 10 to 20 years depending on use. 

Moderate use is expected, so a replacement frequency of 13 years was chosen, requiring 3 

replacements in 50 years. 

Replacement cost per HP was calculated as 40 percent of the upgrade cost per HP. 

O&M 

Sanks uses 5 percent of capitol cost for pumps and controls as a reasonable estimate of 

maintenance costs. Maintenance of equipment is calculated at 5 percent of cost throughout these 

estimates. One percent is a real estate industry standard for building maintenance costs, and is 

used for that purpose throughout these estimates. 

Pipeline costs were calculated as 5 percent of the pipeline fitting cost, 5 percent of the 

horsepower upgrade cost, and 1 percent of building costs. Pump plant equipment costs were 

determined by using upgrade horsepower costs as equipment costs. Pump plant building costs 

were determined by subtracting pump upgrade cost from new pump installation cost. 

Cost to Water Provider 

For Option 5, East Canyon Pipeline, a cost of $15,150 per acre-foot of capacity was used in place 

of capital costs and use of facilities. This cost was applied at 525 acre-feet per year until the 

12,500 acre-feet of capacity was reached, and then discounted to present value. This total 

replaced capital costs and use of facilities costs. There is no financing component to these 

calculations. 

For Option 7, Lost Creek Canyon Pipeline, the applicable portions of the existing bond payments 

were discounted to present value. Future construction costs and bonding costs were calculated 

and a 30 year bond payment schedule at 5.1 percent was calculated. These future payments were 

discounted to present value. This total replaced capital costs and cost of existing facilities. 

Cost of Water 

For Option 5, East Canyon Pipeline, a cost of $160 per acre-foot was applied to the first 5,000 

acre feet used, and $20.70 was applied to each additional acre foot. This reflects SWDC’s 

contract with Davis & Weber Counties Canal Company for 5,000 acre feet, and the annual 

assessment on SWDC’s Davis & Weber Counties Canal Company water shares. 

For Option 7, Lost Creek Canyon Pipeline, a cost of $110 per acre-foot was the price quoted by 

WBWCD, the water supplier.

Table 6- 3 

Method 1 includes capital costs for new facilities only, using Reclamation’s estimating standards 

which include an additional 10 percent for unlisted contract items, 20 percent for contingencies, 

and 12 percent for engineering design and construction oversight. 

Method 2 includes capital costs for new and existing facilities using Reclamtion’s estimating 

standards. 

Method 3 includes capital costs for new facilities, and the actual costs for the existing facilities 

updated to 2005 using the ENR-CCI Index. 

Method 4 is the contract cost of new facilities only. 

Method 5 attempts to capture the difference in business plans of the public and private water 

suppliers. Option 5 capital costs were calculated using $15,000 per “A” share of SWDC plus the 

$150 conversion fee. Purchases were phased at 525 shares per year until a total of 12,500 shares 

were purchased. No provision was made to finance these purchases. Option 7 capital costs were 

calculated using 5,000/6,600 times the bond payments for the existing facilities (the reduction 

factor reflects the 1,600 acre-feet of existing capacity). Additional bonds were calculated such 

that 85 percent of the bond proceeds would cover construction costs, and equal annual payments 

were made at 5.2 percent, over 30 years. The accuracy of the representation of costs for Method 

5 is suspect and therefore this method is not included in the body of the report. 

Cost of Right of Way Easements 

Right of way easements across private lands would need to be obtained for Options 5 and 7. For 

Option 7, a 30 feet by 4,200 feet right of way from Promontory Development to Highway 40 is 

required. Current land sales in the area have been for approximately two dollars per square foot. 

A worst case of 80 percent of this cost would be required for a perpetual easement for a total of 

$201,600. For Option 5, Reclamation estimated a 30 feet by 24,000 feet perpetual land easement 

containing approximately 16.53 acres of recreational property in Morgan County would cost 

$27,000. Recently a 7,200 acre Ranch (Clayton Macfarlane Company) sold a conservation 

easement that covers a portion of the County road along East Canyon Creek in Summit and 

Morgan counties. Right of Way across this conservation easement will also have to be 

negotiated, but this cost is not included in these estimates. 

Acre-Feet Delivered 

To reach the 2030 demand from the 2005 supply, 525 acre-feet per year increments were used. 

Life cycle cost estimates assume this 525 acre-feet per year increment until the option reaches 

capacity, then the system operates at capacity the remainder of the 50 year lifecycle. 

The cost per acre-foot delivered calculation takes the total lifecycle cost and divides it by the 

total number of acre-feet delivered over the 50 year lifecycle. The calculated acre-feet delivered 

for all Options, except Options 3 and 4, are:
