["PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT (PD&E) STAFF HOUR ESTIMATE GUIDELINES (SHEG)"]
[]
["The following information has been developed to assist the Project Manager in preparing staff hour estimates (SHE) for Project Development and Environment (PD&E) studies. The PD&E study is typically a stand-alone contract; however, activities from the Design Standard Scope of Services may be accelerated with the PD&E Standard Scope of Services. When Design phase or design activities are accelerated with PD&E, the Design Staff Hours Estimation Guidelines (SHEG) shall be used to estimate such activities and the Project Manager must coordinate with the responsible office to ensure there is no duplication of efforts."]
[]
["The estimation of hours needed for individual tasks for a PD&E study are not necessarily related to project length or even complexity, but have more to do with the anticipated effort to complete that task based on the context and intensity of impacts. (For instance, a short project in a historic district may have substantially more hours for the cultural resources task than a study involving 20 miles of rural roadway.) It cannot be emphasized enough that the scope of a PD&E study be properly developed to anticipate the level of effort for individual tasks identified. Each task identified in the SHE Form has a corresponding section in this chapter that describes the task and provides a basis for preparing the estimate, or provides a range with criteria, to assist in determining the hours needed. The hours included in this document represent a generic number based on district averages. The District may require additional effort or requirements which MUST be discussed in the Scope of Services."]
[]
["The hour ranges that are presented in each tab do not represent a maximum and minimum for that task. The ranges identified for each task are estimates of efforts needed to accomplish a majority of the projects the DEPARTMENT will encounter. There will be exceptions for both higher and lower estimates for the tasks, and these should have detailed information regarding those tasks in the project Scope of Services. For tasks that result in a “significant” impact (i.e. an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)), the hours associated for those tasks may be more than what is identified in the basis of estimate. There are no separate line items in theSHE Form for management and supervision. The hours associated with managing and supervising staff are included in each task. "]
