The assessable cost shall be determined by the City Engineer upon a comparable basis per front foot as similar assessments for this type of public improvement were determined and levied in that district or area, then the calculation shall be made upon the basis of a uniform charge per front foot, which may have been or shall be estimated or levied for similar public improvement most recently constructed, this determination having regard for construction costs current on the date of the determination.
