Task 5.3 – Preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost 
Kimley-Horn will prepare an opinion of the probable construction cost of the proposed improvements. 
Kimley-Horn will utilize the current version of the Cost Estimate Tool provided by TDOT’s Traffic Design 
Division to prepare preliminary cost estimate. 
 
Because Kimley-Horn does not control the cost of labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by 
others, methods of determining prices, or competitive bidding or market conditions, any opinions 
rendered as to costs, including but not limited to opinions as to the costs of construction and materials, 
shall be made on the basis of its experience and represent its judgment as an experienced and qualified 
professional, familiar with the industry. Kimley -Horn cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, 
bids or actual costs will not vary from its opinions of cost. If the City wishes greater assurance as to the 
amount of any cost, it shall employ an independent cost estimator. Kimley-Horn’s services required to 
bring costs within any limitation established by the City will be paid for as Additional Services.
