The project is currently seeking DOE approval for CD-1.
The estimate includes appropriate labor rates, fringes, etc., for all institutions including
Fermilab with respective overhead rates applied. Material costs include various burdening rates
depending on the nature and size of the procurements. Open Plan is the software tool used to
develop the project cost estimate.
The project developed a bottoms-up contingency based on maturity of design using a
consistent methodology for Materials and Services (M&S) and labor. The result was a
contingency of (approximately) 35 percent with respect to the base cost estimate. The NOνA
project has few systems but many repeatable components. In many cases, the project is dealing
with known vendors and has obtained solid quotes. There are few parts that use new or
unproven technologies. The conventional facilities (CF) WBS element has the lowest overall
contingency at 23 percent next to project management at four percent. Less rigor was applied in
developing the CF contingency estimate as compared to the methodology applied to other WBS
elements. A detailed breakdown of contingency by WBS can be found in Appendix D.
