Approximate costs for safety assessment and environmental impact assessment
Thread Content
During the conceptual stage of a new factory project, it is necessary to estimate the costs related to new products and the new factory itself. May I ask what approximately the costs for safety assessments and environmental impact assessments would be? Could you be more specific?
Each province and city has its own regulations; follow those regulations.
**There are regulations based on industry and investment amount, but they are generally not followed; for our chemical project worth 1 billion yuan, the safety assessment fee is 200,000 yuan and the environmental impact assessment fee is 500,000 yuan. Mainly, it’s not about **actions now; it’s market behavior. This creates competition, and as a result prices can be reduced.
Generally, it is based on the price document, which seems to be Document No. 123; it just shouldn’t be too outrageous – usually, it is negotiated!
Document No. 123 seems to discuss only the changes in the system for food and drug regulation~ As mentioned on the third floor, if 1 billion is invested and 700,000 is spent on safety and environmental assessments, can it be understood that 100 million would require 70,000 for such assessments?
The fee is not necessarily based on the total investment amount, as the final cost of the project depends on its scope. You may refer to market rates; please have the safety assessment and environmental impact assessment agencies provide information on the various professionals required, their respective rates, and the duration of the work, so that a fixed price that satisfies both parties can be agreed upon. If market resources permit (that is, there are multiple consulting firms of the same type), it is possible to consult one or two more firms and make a decision after comparing them comprehensively.
Fees are generally charged based on the total investment of the project; for chemical projects with an investment of over 3 billion yuan, the environmental assessment fee is 1 million yuan, and the safety assessment fee is 500,000 yuan. It is best to use a bidding process, as this can keep prices lower.
It doesn’t seem that small; it’s too little to do anything with...
We invested 2 billion. We’ve just completed the safety assessment and environmental impact assessment; the safety assessment cost 250,000, while the environmental impact assessment cost 700,000
Considering the actual situation in our institute, safety assessment falls under the category of preliminary design, and the fee rate for preliminary design is generally around 35% of the total design fee. The fee for safety assessment is calculated based on this preliminary design rate, with an additional discount applied, usually around 30% off. Of course, these assumptions apply to legitimate design institutes; if it’s a smaller firm, it’s possible that for a project with an investment of 1 billion, the final fee might only be in the tens of thousands
**There are fee standards; you can refer to the software EIA cost calculator. In most cases, the actual situation is determined through negotiation between the two parties.
