  • Value Engineering Study - Completed December, 2009

Southwest Arterial Project

Value Engineering (VE) Study Preliminary Design Evaluation & Recommendations

g g y p , Identify potential modifications that might decrease construction cost

Increase the value of the project

  • Preliminary VE design evaluation - Completed November, 2010
  • 10 - Initial VE Alternatives were evaluated

7 - VE Concepts Recommended For Further Consideration

Potential total estimated VE savings: $7,500,000 3 - VE Concepts Not Recommended

  • Most significant VE recommendations are the proposed

modifications to the SW Arterial / U.S. 20 / Seippel Road interchange area. Potential savings $6,200,000
