ATTACHMENT 5
BREAKDOWN OF PROPOSED
ESTIMATED COST (PLUS FEE) AND LABOR HOURS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF
THE FORMAT
- Refer to
Business Proposal Instructions, Section L of this solicitation. The
Instructions contain the requirements for proper submission of cost/price data
which must be adhered to.
- This sample
format has been prepared as a universal guideline for all solicitations. It may
require amending to meet the specific requirements of this solicitation. For
example, this solicitation may require the submission of cost/price data for
three years listed on this form. (See Section L, Instructions, Conditions and
Notices to Offerors, for the estimated duration of this project.) If this
solicitation is phased, identify each phase in addition to each year. Total
each year, phase, and sub-element.
- This format
must be used to submit the breakdown of all proposed estimated cost elements.
List each cost element and sub-element for direct costs, indirect costs and
fee, if applicable. In addition, provide detailed calculations for all items.
For example:
- For all personnel, list the name, title,
rate per hour and number of hours proposed. If a pool of personnel is proposed,
list the composition of the pool and how the cost proposed was calculated. List
the factor used for prorating Year One and the escalation rate applied between
years.
Offeror's proposal should be stated in the same
terms as will be used to account for and record direct labor under a contract
(i.e. percentage of effort is used for most faculty and professional employees
at educational institutions). If percentages of effort are used, the basis to
which such percentages are applied must also be submitted by the
offeror. The attached format should be revised to accommodate direct labor
proposed as a percentage of effort.
- For all materials, supplies, and other
direct costs, list all unit prices, etc., to detail how the calculations were
made.
- For all indirect costs, list the rates
applied and the base the rate is applied to.
- For all travel, list the specifics for each
trip.
- For any subcontract proposed, submit a
separate breakdown format.
- Justification for the need of some cost
elements may be listed as an attachment, i.e., special equipment, above average
consultant fees, etc.
- If the
Government has provided "uniform pricing assumptions" for this
solicitation, the offeror must comply with and identify each item.
