Cost Estimate Website/Tool?
Cost Estimate Website/Tool?
(OP)
I'm working on an Asset Management task where I need to price the replacement cost of different pieces of equipment for a municipality, specifically their water/wastewater treatment facilities. I have been using USA blue book to get individual prices and plotting their relationship to certain qualities (like how the price of a pump is related to the Horsepower). However, the books I have (RSMeans, USA Blue Book) don't always cover the equipment I need.
My boss did send me two sample websites that give equations other people have determined (http://www.matche.com/equipcost/Fan.html and http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/civil/CVEN4434...).
Does anyone know of websites similar to the ones listed above? Any websites that give equations of cost estimating based on one or two pieces of information about an object? Again, I'm focused on water/wastewater treatment facility equipment & parts.

No company likes sharing this kind of information, so it's hard to find on the internet.

I can almost guarantee you're not going to find a database. If there was one, I'd know about it.
Hopefully you don't work for us.
