A city plans to upgrade its storm water management infrastructure by installing new pipes. The installation costs 2.1 million dollars and the annual maintenance cost is $28,000. Every 10 years, the system needs to be fully examined which requires a fixed management and material cost of $ 20,000 and a variable labor cost at the rate of $25/hr. 8 full time (working 8 hours per day) workers will be employed for 40 days for this task. If the infrastructure has a life time of 120 years and the city's interest rate is 8%

What is the capitalized worth of the project (in millions)? Please note that the value could be negative.

Expert Solution

Answer:	Calculation of capitalised worth:
			Present value
	Particulars	Amount	Calculation	Amount
	Installation costs	2,100,000.00	-	2,100,000.00
	Annual maintenance cost	28,000.00	28,000 / 0.08	350,000.00
	Fixed management cost every 10 years	20,000.00	20,000 * A/F(8%,10)
			20,000 * 0.06903	1,380.60
	Variable labour cost every 10 years	8,000.00	8,000 * A/F(8%,10)
			8,000 * 0.06903	552.24

	Capitalised worth	equals		(2,451,932.84)

	Please rate my answer well. Thanks in advance.

the city engineer asks you to compare the cost of installing water pipe with city employees ( alternative A) versus contracting it out ( Alternative B). They need to lay 4000 lineal feet of pipe per month for 48 months. Use i=9% per year Alternative A: Buy equipment =$2,000,000 paid now Resale of equipment at EMO 48 = 10% of purchase price Equipment O & M, labor, Materials = $10/lineal foot for the first 12 months, increasing by $0.10/month for...

In the design of a city water supply system, three reservoirs are connected by three pipes which meet at the junction. Reservoir A needs to supply 0.0938 m3/s to lower reservoirs B (Elevation 150 m) and C (Elevation 140 m). Pipe 1 is 900 m long and 300 mm in diameter, pipe 2 is a 200 mm diameter pipe 387 m long, and pipe 3 is 200 mm in diameter and 700 m long. The roughness coefficient for all pipes...

The city of Stillwater is planning to install a new settling tank as an upgrade to their existing water treat plant. You run a batch settling test using a 2.0 m column and coagulated water from their existing tank and collect the following data (Table 1). Using this data, design a settling tank to remove 65% of the influent suspended solids. Assume a design flow of 0.5 m3/s. Use scale up factors of 0.65 for overflow rate and 1.75 for...
