Contingency Analysis (Scoring) for Project Cost Estimates
Project Title: ABC Project Project Design Stage: Area of cost: Process and Non-Process Infrastructure Team Member: Date: Project Manager Date: Cost Engineer: Date: Total estimated cost BEFORE ANY contingency = $ Gate 3
Scored by: Reviewed by: Compiled by:
10,000,000
Elements of Risk:
NOT Included: totally unforesee-able events such as catastrophic weather conditions, unexpected changes in HES laws, unexpected labor strikes, unexpected changes in global market conditions
Current Relative PROBABILITY of WEIGHT of total achieving 50/50 Weighted Score (Based on Project Team (10 = highest POTENTIAL accuracy Assessment)
for variation, not magnitude of estimated cost) (1 = Nailed 10 = very uncertain and >0.5% of TIC)
