United States1plastic pipe over a specified project design life. This practiceidentifies the project data and general assumptions needed forthe analysis

17、 and the method of computation.5. Significance and Use5.1 LCC analysis is an economic method to evaluate alter-natives that are characterized by differing cash flows over thedesignated project design life. The method entails calculatingthe LCC of each alternative capable of satisfying the functional

18、requirements of the project and comparing them to determinewhich have the lowest estimated LCC over the project designlife.5.2 The LCC method is particularly suitable for determiningwhether the higher initial cost of an alternative is economicallyjustified by reductions in future costs (for example,

19、 operatingmaintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement) when compared toan alternative with lower initial costs but higher future costs. Ifa design alternative has both a lower initial cost and lowerfuture costs than other alternatives, an LCC analysis is notnecessary to show the former is the econom

20、ically preferablechoice.6. Procedure6.1 The procedure for performing an LCC analysis fordrainage pipe applications is as follows:6.1.1 Identify project objectives, alternatives, and con-straints (6.2).6.1.2 Establish basic assumptions (6.3).6.1.3 Compile data (6.4).6.1.4 Compute life cycle cost for

21、each alternative (7.1).6.1.5 Evaluate results (7.2).6.2 Project Objectives, Alternatives, and Constraints:6.2.1 Specify the design objective that is to beaccomplished, identify alternative systems or designs thataccomplish that objective, and identify any constraints thatmay limit the options to be

22、considered.6.2.2 An example is the design of a storm water drainagesystem for a residential development project. The system mustsatisfy mandated drainage system objectives, such as specifiedrainfall intensities and storm water runoff limits. Availablealternatives, such as different pipe materials an

23、d varyingconfigurations of catch basins, ponds, or underground deten-tion chambers may have different initial costs as well asexpected future costs. The system design may be constrainedby structural and hydraulic limits such as minimum andmaximum slopes and depth of burial, limits on surface flows o

24、nstreets, etc.6.3 Basic Assumptions:6.3.1 Establish the uniform assumptions to be made in theLCC analysis of all alternatives. These assumptions include theselection of the discount rate, the treatment of inflation, generalinflation rate, the project design life, and the desired compre-hensiveness o

25、f the analysis.6.3.2 Discount RateThe discount rate selected shouldreflect the owners time value of money. That is, the discountrate should reflect the rate of interest that makes the ownerindifferent between paying or receiving a dollar now or at somefuture time. The discount rate is used to conver

26、t costs occurringat different times to equivalent costs at a common point in time.6.3.2.1 There is no single correct discount rate for allowners. Selection of the discount rate should be guided by therate of return on alternative investment opportunities of com-parable risk (that is, the opportunity

27、 cost of capital), or, in thecase of some public organizations, on mandated or legislatedfederal or state requirements. (See Federal Office of Manage-ment and Budget.)6.3.2.2 The discount rate may include general price inflationover the study period. This discount rate is referred to as the“nominal”

28、 discount rate in this practice. The discount rate mayalso be expressed as the real earning power of money over andabove general price inflation, referred to as the “real” discountrate.6.3.2.3 A nominal discount rate (dn) and the correspondingreal discount rate (dr) are related as follows:dr511dn11I

29、2 1ordn5 11dr!11I! 2 1 (1)where:I = the rate of general price inflation.6.3.2.4 The same discount rate should be used in evaluatingeach design alternative. Annex A1 contains a procedure tofollow in developing the discount rate. This procedure may beapplied by those who wish to select their own value

30、s as well asthose who are required to follow mandated or legislatedrequirements.6.3.3 InflationThis practice is designed only to accommo-date a uniform rate of general inflation. Calculate the LCC inconstant dollar terms (not including general inflation) or incurrent dollar terms (including general

31、inflation). If the latter isused, a consistent projection of general price inflation shall beused throughout the LCC analysis, including adjustment of thediscount rate to incorporate general inflation (6.3.2.2). Thepercentage change in GNP deflator and the Producers PriceIndex are two broad indicato

32、rs of general inflation.6.3.3.1 If the user desires or is required to treat inflation onan incremental (differential) basis, or uniquely to each indi-vidual cost component (for example, energy costs), consulteither TM-5-802-1 or Discount Factor Tables4, respectively.6.3.4 Project Design LifeEstablis

33、h the project design life(3.1.9) from mandated public policy, legislated requirements,or selection by the owner based on situation requirements. Usethe same design life for each alternative under comparison andfor all categories of cost under consideration. The potential forfuture obsolescence, that

34、 is, the potential that future changesmay modify drainage system requirements, should be consid-ered in selecting project design life.6.3.5 ComprehensivenessThe appropriate degree of preci-sion and detail to use in an LCC analysis is dependent upon theintended use of the analysis. A less comprehensi

35、ve or detailedanalysis may be sufficient to roughly rank many alternatives,whereas a more comprehensive analysis may be necessary toselect from among a few close alternatives. In any case,omitting significant factors from an LCC analysis diminishesthe usefulness of the results.F1675 1326.3.6 Sensiti

36、vity AnalysisNo analysis is more precise thanthe accuracy of the data and assumptions used in the calcula-tion. When there is uncertainty regarding basic assumptions(for example, cost estimates, design life, discount rate, etc.)calculate the LCC for a range of assumptions. The results ofthese calcul

37、ations will show the user the extent to which theresults are sensitive to variations of the key assumptions.6.4 Compiling DataCompile the data specific to eachalternative under consideration.6.4.1 Initial CostsThe estimated dollar amount of all costsis required to bring the alternative system to a p

38、oint offunctional readiness.6.4.2 Material Service LifeMaterial service life is thenumber of years of service expected of the alternative understudy, which varies depending upon the pipe material, theenvironment, effluent, and application. Potential changes inenvironmental conditions which may affec

39、t the material servicelife should be considered. Use job site tests, published reports,manufacturer product data, and local experience to establishservice life for each material. If material service life is less thanthe project design life (3.1.9), the analysis shall include thefuture cost to suffic

40、iently extend the service life throughrehabilitation or replacement, in order to at least equal theproject design life.6.4.3 Future CostsCost estimates should be made for allsignificant items that are estimated to be required to allow thedrainage system to satisfy performance requirements over thepr

41、oject design life. Common costs (1.1) may be excludedwithout affecting the relative ranking of the alternatives understudy. The cost estimates should be made in constant dollars(not including inflation) in the same time frame as the estimateof initial costs.6.4.3.1 Operating CostOperating cost is an

42、 estimate of theannual cost for labor, power, and consumable materials andsupplies required to operate a drainage system. Except forpumped systems, most drainage systems do not have signifi-cant annual operating costs.6.4.3.2 Maintenance CostMaintenance cost includes costestimates and the frequency

43、of any inspection, cleaning, andminor repair necessary to keep the system operating at capacityduring the project design life.6.4.3.3 Rehabilitation CostRehabilitation cost is the costof major repairs to extend the material service life to equal orexceed the project design life. If more than one reh

44、abilitation isanticipated, the years in which the rehabilitation are plannedshould be noted.6.4.3.4 Replacement CostReplacement cost is the timingand cost estimate for complete replacement of any drainagesystem component. Take care to see if the service life of thereplaced material or component will

45、 at least equal the remain-ing project design life. If not, rehabilitation or further replace-ment will be necessary.6.4.3.5 Terminal ValueTerminal value is the value of thedrainage system at the end of the project design life. Thepotential residual or salvage value of a drainage system isdependent

46、upon some of the factors considered in establishingproject design life. For example, if a storm sewer is beingevaluated and a long project design life (75 years) is used,consideration should be given to risk of future obsolescence. Ifthe likelihood of functional obsolescence is high, then theremay b

47、e no residual or salvage value. If, however, it is expectedthe material could be removed and either reused or sold, thenthe net cash value (in constant dollars) represents the terminalvalue. It is not recommended to use a residual value to reflectan economic value for any remaining material life in

48、excess ofthe project design life. As an alternative, if the functionalrequirements of the system under design are for an indefiniteperiod, then consideration should be given to increasing theproject design life to an appropriately higher value, where theresidual value would not significantly affect

49、the comparison ofthe various alternatives.7. Calculations7.1 Computing Life Cycle CostsTo compute the LCC fora drainage system, all relevant cost flows over the design life ofthe project are discounted back to the present and summed.7.1.1 Find the present value (PV) of each cost category forexample, initial cost (IC), operating and maintenance (M),rehabilitation or repair (R) and terminal value (T) using theappropriate discount formula in this section. Then sum thesepresent values to find PVLCC , for example,PVLCC 5 PVIC1PVM1PVR 2 PVT (2)7.1.2 Initial c
