Section 173-98-730. Cost-effectiveness analysis for water pollution control facilities.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Funding will only be considered if the project is shown to be the cost-effective alternative/solution to the water pollution control problem. The cost-effective alternative is determined using a cost-effectiveness analysis.
    (2) A cost-effectiveness analysis must be included in the facilities plan and must include the following:
    (a) A comparison of the total cost, total present worth or annual equivalent costs of alternatives considered for the planning period;
    (b) The no action alternative; and
    (c) A consideration of the monetary or nonmonetary costs/benefits of each alternative, such as the environmental impact, energy impacts, growth impacts, and community priorities.
    (3) Facilities plans proposing design-build or design-build-operate projects must demonstrate that this approach is the cost-effective alternative for procurement.
