Key Takeaways
16
1. The cleanup-only hard cost is about $815,655: contractor cleanup/biohazard response plus CRC disposal.
17
2. The workbook also lists about $566,253 in City labor and vehicle costs; those were outside the narrow PRA hard-cost request, but they matter for a full cost picture.
18
3. Burnt Bridge Creek / trail corridor and Share House / Jefferson / downtown corridor dominate the hard-cost total.
19
4. The worksheet Total Cost column appears to understate the reconstructed component total by $20,111.10 because several 2025/2026 rows omit Rapid Cost from Total Cost.
