Description:
This paper details the ongoing collaboration between the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the development of complementary micro-computer based cost estimating systems for hazardous waste remediations. he U.S. EPA system, "Remedial Action Cost Estimating System" (RACES) is a technology based application. stimates generated by RACES are based upon cost engineering relationships. hese estimates are designed for use in the early stages of remediation design. he U.S. Army Corps of Engineers system, "Micro-Computer Aided Cost Engineering System" (M-CACES), is a "bottoms-up" system for use in situations where detailed design information is available. hile both systems will stand alone, they have been designed to allow the transfer of estimates generated by RACES directly into the M-CACES system.
