All-bidder observations, not unique projects or winning bids. Prices are historical USD per stated unit, without inflation or regional adjustment. The middle 50% is P25–P75, calculated with linear interpolation. Price summaries require at least 10 observations, 3 projects and 3 agencies per unit; smaller groups are omitted. Different sizes, materials and scopes can still vary within a unit. Outliers are retained. These are research comparisons, not construction estimates or quotes.
