02-Appendix B - Cost Proposal Model.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Model template for use in Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) agreements, designed for prospective recipients to detail proposed costs for federal contracts and Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs).

The template provides two primary pricing models: a detailed Cost Proposal Model and a Time-and-Materials Price Model. The Cost Proposal Model breaks down costs into categories including personnel (with estimated hours and hourly rates across nine categories), fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual/consultants, and other direct costs, with provisions for calculating indirect charges (Facilities & Administrative rates). The Time-and-Materials Price Model accommodates up to 24 labor categories with task-based cost estimation across seven tasks, plus other direct costs including travel (airfare and per diem), materials, and miscellaneous costs (telephone, reproduction, delivery, computer, facilities). Both models culminate in total cost summaries. The template references BAA numbers 693JJ323BAA0001 and 693JJ319BAA0001, with an additional reference to Contract 693JJ3-18-D-000001. This template is specifically formatted for FHWA agreements and serves as a standardized tool for offerors to present cost proposals in a consistent format required by the federal contracting process.
