Current Market ConditionsEscalation of Material Costs
- Inflation/Escalation Free Era from 2001-2003
- Volatile Escalation of Material Prices from 2004-2006
- Material Costs have Decreased in Recent Months
- Material Costs Expected to Rise 6-8% by end of 2007
Causes of Material Escalation:
Increased Fuel Prices
- Anything Being Shipped or Hauled
- Raw Materials and Finished Products
- Petroleum Products – PVC, Roofing/Waterproofing, PVC Pipe & Asphalt
Increase In Global Economy (India and China)
- Longer Lead Time for Materials
Materials Affected Most
- Concrete
- Steel
- Drywall/Gypsum
Products Affected by Multiple Material Escalation – Cast-in-Place Concrete
- Aluminum - Copper
- Glass

Current Market Conditions
Escalation of Labor Wages
- Construction Industry Produced 1 out of 10 New Jobs
- Recent Years Employment Dropped 0.2%
- Hourly Wages increased 4.8% in 2006
- Labor Wages Increase 5% by end of 2007
Causes of Labor Wage Increase
- Labor Shortage
- Decline in Residential Construction Increased Number of Higher Paying Jobs
- Shortage of Apprentices Coupled with Shortage of Teachers

Construction Cost Escalation
Construction Material Cost Escalation is a Risk for:- Contractors- Construction Managers- Designers- Owners- Vendors/Suppliers
Current StrategyIncorporate an Inflation/Escalation Percentage Increase and then Pass
the Risk to the Next Party
Problem with Current StrategyAs Risk is Passed a Premium is Paid by the Owner for an Event that
May Never Occur

Outline
Make an Effort to Simplify Bid Documents - Require Thorough Constructability Review that Involves a Contractor
- Eliminate Future Addendums
- Create a More Accurate Material Take-Off
Require Contractor to Bid on Current Market Prices - Require that Initial Bid does not include the Cost of Escalation or Inflation
- Standardize Bid
Review Material Cost Escalation Quarterly - Assess Material Escalation Quarterly using a Material Escalation Index
- Increase/Decrease Contract for Escalation of Materials Bought Each Quarter> Performed for 3 Pay Applications

Number of Fixtures - Existing has 40 Fixtures
- Redesign has 23 Fixtures
Lamp Maintenance Reduction - Existing Lamp is Linear Fluorescent T8
- Redesigned Lamp is Metal Halide
- Linear Fluorescent Lamps Lose Efficiency and Lamp Life in Low Temperatures
- Metal Halide is Better for Outdoor Application
