Fred,
Crew equipment cost per day is the cost to rent and operate construction equipment, including the cost of fuel, lubricants, and routine maintenance. It does not include the cost of the equipment operator(s). It is calculated by dividing the weekly rental cost by 5 and adding the hourly operating cost multiplied by 8 hours of operation in the typical day. Equipment rental costs and hourly operating costs are found in section 01 54 33.
