This may also include condition-based cost evaluation of a system, which will include an assessment of the current condition of the system and provide an estimated value of the system, or an assessment of the current condition of the system as well as a scheduled evaluation identifying cost/time/resources required to carry out a scope of work to ensure the system is in an operational state for safe and efficient operations. This will include the operational functionality and general condition of the equipment as well as the availability and completeness of the associated documentation and will identify a cost against each item, equipment part and the time to complete the scope of work as well as any resources required.
