COST GUIDELINES FOR STUDY CONTRACTORS

Abstract

The object of the present study is to weigh the technical system potential against economic resources in terms of effectiveness per dollar spent. The number and types of systems considered by the various contractors will be substantial. Cost guidelines are thus required to insure that the economic resources are equally measured in all cases. Since the study results will form part of the basis of executive decisions the reported costs should be based on the experience and judgment of the participating contractors, rather than developed from arbitrary rules. The guidelines indicate the areas of substantial interest and seek to elicit supporting data to permit the proper evaluation of the stated costs.
