b. Unit costs for DoD medical facilities include category A and
category B equipment, but do not include category E and
category F equipment costs.
c. Unit costs do not include pre-wired workstations or furnishing
systems.
d. Unit costs for barracks and unaccompanied officers quarters do
not include free-standing kitchen equipment. In addition to
using the size adjustment factors, use the project size
adjustment factors.
e. Unit costs for child development centers do not include free-
standing food service equipment or playground area and
equipment.
f. Unit costs for family housing are based upon gross area and
include sprinkler systems or fire-rated construction. Unit costs
include post-award design costs.
g. For reserve facilities other than reserve centers, use the unit
cost of the appropriate facility type.

SIZE ADJUSTMENT TABLES
The Size Adjustment Factor tables are based upon data analysis that shows a
correlation exists between project size and construction cost. Unit construction
costs generally are lower for larger projects due to greater opportunities for
material quantity discounts and for spreading mobilization, demobilization and
general overhead costs over a greater number of units.
2-3.1
Application
All unit costs in Table 2A are based upon the referenced facility sizes. Whenever
the project size differs from the referenced facility size, use size adjustment
factors in Table 2B to adjust unit costs. Divide the gross area of the proposed
facility by the reference size for that facility type to determine the size relationship
ratio. Use this ratio to find the appropriate size adjustment factor in Table 2B.
Multiply the unit cost by the size adjustment factor to calculate the adjusted unit
cost for the facility. Base the proposed project size on the total project scope to
be awarded as a single construction contract, regardless of the number of bldgs
to be constructed within that scope. If a construction project is to be broken into
a number of discreet phases where the contractor has limited control over the
phasing, use the average scope for all phases as the basis for your size
adjustment calculations.
