SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA
developed this guidance document on
capital cost estimating for project
sponsors and the industry as part of its
continuing efforts to provide technical
assistance and ensure successful project
delivery. FRA’s guidance emphasizes
accuracy, comprehensiveness, and
completeness of estimating materials, as
well as credibility. These are all
qualities highlighted by the U.S.
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) in its own capital cost estimating
guidance, which describes the same
primary capital cost estimating
methodologies and activities as stated in
this document.
FRA’s guidance focuses specifically
on railroad projects; it provides
examples of common estimating
shortfalls in railroad projects; and it
defines agency-specific requirements for
project sponsors regarding format and
submission of cost estimate-related
materials.
FRA recognizes that it is not always
easy to persuade stakeholders and
funders of a project’s merit, or to
withstand criticism for capital costs that
seem ‘‘too high’’ and schedules that
seem ‘‘too long.’’ The pressures
associated with project development
and implementation can be immense.
GAO recognized these pressures when it
stated, ‘‘many organizations are not
mature enough to acknowledge . . . cost
risk realism because of the possible
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
repercussions [and] . . . fear that the
program could be canceled.’’ With this
in mind, FRA’s guidance asserts that
true or ‘‘non-depressed’’ costs can get
funded, and reminds us that delivering
projects ‘‘as promised’’ increases
industry credibility.
By following FRA’s guidance, project
sponsors should be better able to
compensate for uncertainties,
unforeseen conditions, and unknowns
in capital cost estimates. Such should
improve estimate reliability, and enable
as-built costs to land within a
reasonable range of the estimates
generated at every project phase. With a
consistent estimating approach, project
sponsors should be better able to make
useful comparisons among estimates,
and to evaluate their own estimates.
This guidance will be incorporated by
reference into FRA’s Notices of Funding
Availability/Opportunity and grant and
loan agreements. FRA expects project
sponsors to adhere to this guidance, and
the principles and methods described
herein.
Privacy Act
FRA wishes to inform all interested
parties that anyone is able to search the
