General cost estimation methods can be used by site planners to compare the relative construction and maintenance costs for structural BMPs. However, it is recommended that construction and maintenance budgets should be based on site specific information. Once the construction plans are created, designers could use the table below and the cost estimation worksheet. The table below lists the site components that are specific to bioretention practices. Not included in this table are those cost items that are common to all construction projects, such as mobilization, traffic control, erosion and sediment control, permitting, etc.
This table shows cost Components for Bioretention Practices
