Topic: Budgeting for Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP)
Speaker: Eric Soriano, Hermes Landscaping
The Budgeting for Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) program is an introduction to what some of the most common Stormwater BMPs are and rough guidelines for developing cost estimates for them. Some form of stormwater management is required by federal, state, and local regulations, including the Clean Water Act of 1972. BMPs are used to improve water quality and reduce the amount of pollutants leaving a site via stormwater runoff.
Stormwater BMPs such as Bio-swales and Bio-retention facilities can occupy a significant percentage of the green area of a project site and carry construction costs that need to be considered when developing the construction sitework budget. As BMP construction methods and material costs are becoming more clearly understood construction cost estimators may able to provide realistic BMP budgets to owners earlier in the construction cost estimating process with a goal of preventing the discovery of a significant cost item late in the estimating process.
