Tri-Service
Automated Cost Engineering Systems (TRACES)
The Tri-Service Automated Cost Engineering System (TRACES) program consists of a
suite of software applications designed to support the cost engineers throughout
the Corps of Engineers, the Air Force and the Navy. TRACES applications are used
in support of military construction projects worldwide, environmental remediation
(HTRW) projects, support for Others program and Civil Works projects in the United
States, Central and South America.
TRACES provides a standard suite of automated tools used for the preparation of
planning and budgetary estimates, for analysis on budget cost data during design,
bid opening and modification estimates, and captures contract costs for historical
purposes. The TRACES program has been in existence since 1982 and has proven to
be a valuable tool to the Tri-Service cost engineering community. It has drastically
reduced the time required to prepare and/or review construction cost estimates by
enabling the cost engineer to develop standard formats, processes and procedures.
The standard formats have led to the sharing of information between districts and
allowed district offices to collaborate while preparing construction cost estimates.
This has also reduced the time required during the review of Architect/Engineer
prepared construction cost estimates. The TRACES program has led to more accurate
construction cost estimates.
The TRACES program includes the following:
