Understanding Your Path to Getting This Built

The procurement path you choose affects your total cost, timeline, and how much risk your municipality carries.

Traditional Path

Plan-Spec-Low Bid

Design and engineering fees paid before any commitment — typically 8–12% of project cost
Public bid advertising required — 12–18 months from design start to groundbreaking
Legally required to accept the lowest bidder regardless of track record
Change orders average 11% cost growth after award

On a project in this range, design fees and change order risk can add significantly to your final cost.

Alternative Path

BOT / P3 Delivery

No upfront design spend. Receive a Guaranteed Maximum Price before committing to any design dollars
Developer, designer, and contractor work together from day one — value engineering before costs are locked
Indiana BOT statute enables GMP procurement — no low-bid requirement
Cost overrun risk stays with the developer, not your municipality

Developer fee ~4% of project cost. No change orders. Budget certainty from day one.

This is a preliminary feasibility indicator only, not a formal cost estimate. It is intended to support early internal go/no-go decisions and should not be used for budgeting, procurement, or council appropriations without professional verification. Actual costs depend on site conditions, design requirements, local labor markets, and material prices at time of bid.
