| Name of Project | Roadworks Cost Analysis and Update of Cost Estimation Manual (CEM) 2025 |
| Name of Client | Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) |
| Financier | Government of the Republic of Kenya (GoK) |
| Objectives of the Project | (i) Updating the Cost Estimation Manual, 2022-2023 Edition to Cost Estimation Manual, 2025; and, (ii) Develop Roadworks Cost Analysis. |
| Description of the Services | Review CEM 2022-2023 and the CES and establish the gaps with respect to the existing bill of quantities in use by the Road Agencies. Carry out a market survey of unit costs of inputs used in road works activities as established from the review in (1) above. Collate and compare road works cost of ongoing projects from sampled RAs and County Governments and bring out any disparities. Obtain official unit prices for labor (Ministry of labor), Machinery (MTD) and materials (KNBS). Evaluate and estimate the price list and unit rates of all road work activities from the market survey and official unit prices to be incorporated in the Cost Estimation Manual 2025. Evaluate the contribution of each input to overall cost variation. Assess differences in unit rates among the named regions. Assess the usage of Cost Estimation System by RAs, CGs and contractors. Evaluate road works input cost changes since 2022 and develop an overall road works cost trend model to predict future cost. Compute unit costs for major roadworks interventions as shall be directed by the Client. Organize a stakeholder workshop for review and adoption of CEM 2025. Update Roadworks Cost Estimation Manual 2025. |
