scope:

This handbook is a guide for the preparation of planning cost estimates in support of the Shore Facilities Planning System. It supplements instructions and direction provided in the instructions listed in par. 1.2.

OPNAVINST 11010.16, Command Responsibility for Shore Activity Land and Facilities establishes the Shore Facilities Planning System. NAVFACINST 11010.44, Shore Facilities Planning Manual carries out the system and requires activity submission of a planning estimate with cost backup and other data, to propose a project for the Military Construction Requirements List.

The importance of an accurate planning cost estimate cannot be over emphasized, as it could be the determining factor as to whether or not the project is included in the budget year program. Although requirements and justifications are important parts of project submittals, this handbook deals only with scope and cost. Scope is included because an estimate is no better than the definition of scope that has been determined. An incomplete scope will result in an incomplete proposed project cost.

This handbook, MIL-HDBK-1010A, dated August 1992, cancels and supersedes MIL-HDBK-1010, dated October 1989.

You are encouraged to advise the Engineering Field Division (EFD) Planning Division (Code 20) or the Cost Engineering Branch (Code 407) of errors, conflicts, or omissions detected while using this handbook, as well as to suggest improvements which will help you produce higher quality planning cost estimates. Advice or comments should be forwarded to the EFD Code 407 to be considered for the MIL-HDBK-1010 update. Points of contact are as follows:
