it's so the looky-lou's don't kill your crew. They deploy them here,
even on two-lane highways.

NY DOT requires them on state highways. It has a big shock absorber
on the rear end, and you park it at the rear of your work area. If
someone doesn't change lanes like they're supposed to they hit the
crash truck.

I don’t recall ever hearing of a crash truck. New one one me.
Waiting around for an accident to clean up?

Fair point. The spreadsheet I saw did not itemize traffic control and
other such ancillary items.

This wouldn't be bad for a budgetary number it all depends on
location, and what that includes. If its for a contractor that is
bidding the whole construction its high for a contract crew to do just
that and it includes all consumables Lashing, horseshoes, etc not bad
for many urban or crap environment areas. You have to remember in
some areas you have to have traffic control and a crash truck so your
paying a off duty police officer and a dump truck driver to sit there
in the vehicle all day and eat donuts...

I haven't had a quote from a contractor in front of me for about 10
years, but I remember the lashing was $0.25/foot.
I just saw someone's cost analysis spreadsheet showing $1.30/ft for
lashing. The actual cable is separate. The strand installation is
separate. That's $1.30/ft for just lashing. Has it really gone up 5x
in 10 years or is this guy getting screwed?
