MIL-HDBK-1037/8
Section 2:
COST LIMITATIONS
2.1
Budget Cost Estimates. The statutory 1524 millimeter
(5-foot) line budget limitation applies to recreational
facilities constructed at locations in the United States having a
geographical cost index of 1.0 and building size of 1858.07
square meters (20,000 square feet). For other locations and
sizes, the limitation is multiplied by the appropriate
geographical cost index and size adjustment factor (to be found
in MIL-HDBK-1010A, Cost Engineering, Policy and Procedures).
After such modification, the statutory 1524 mm (5-foot) line
budget limitation cannot be exceeded without a waiver, as
described in NAVFAC P-68, Contracting Manual. The 1524 mm
(5-foot) line portion of the budget cost estimate, when divided
by the gross building floor area, should be equal or less than
the DOD proposed statutory 1524 mm (5-foot) line budget
limitation, adjusted by the appropriate geographical cost index
and size adjustment factor. Cost escalation to the mid-point of
construction also shall be included.
2.2
Gross Area Computations. Compute the gross area of the
facility according to paragraphs A.3.a through e of Chapter 4 of
MIL-HDBK-1190, Facility Planning and Design Guide, and NAVFAC
P-80, Facility Planning Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps Shore
Installations.
2.3
Determination of Basic Building Cost. Include costs for
the 1.524 mm (5-foot) line portion of the engineering cost
estimate as follows:
2.3.1
Items Considered Part of the Basic Building Cost
a) Fire sprinkler system (if required), fire alarm
systems, and other built-in electrical systems
b)
Blinds or drapes
c)
Individual lockers, storage walls, and partitions
d) Mechanical equipment, including mechanical
ventilation, evaporative cooling, and air-conditioning
e) Double glazing and other energy-conserving
provisions warranted by life-cycle analysis
f)
Telescopic folding bleachers
g)
Retractable basketball backboards
h) Overhead storage systems, e.g., wrestling mats,
divider curtains between courts, and protective covers for floors
