Cost estimates that site planners can use to compare the relative construction and maintenance costs for structural best management practices are excellent for purposes of comparison. However, it is recommended that construction and maintenance budgets should be based on site specific information. Utilizing the table below and cost estimation worksheets for either bioretention or surface sand filter will allow designers to more accurately estimate the cost of a filtration BMP.
