5.40 8.85 5.80 General Requirements: This item covers project-wide needs 14.60 provided by the general contractor. These items vary by project, 18.60 but may include temporary facilities and utilities, security, testing, project cleanup, etc. For small projects a percentage can be used, 113 typically between 5% and 15% of project cost. For large projects 155 the costs may be itemized and priced individually. 1.55 1.84 2.11 3.86 4.92 Bonds: Bond costs should be added to the estimate. The figures 6.45 here represent a typical performance bond, ensuring the owner 4.92 that if the general contractor does not complete the obligations in 3.36 the construction contract the bonding company will pay the cost for
completion of the work.

254 440 137 254 Location Adjustment: RSMeans published data is based on 14.75 national average costs. If necessary, adjust the total cost of the 26 project using a location factor from the Location Factor table or
the City Cost Index table. Use location factors if the work 29 is general, covering multiple trades. If the work is by a single trade (e.g., masonry) use the more specific data found in the City Cost Indexes.
