0CA26004_Cost_Bid_Sheet.xlsx

This is a cost bid sheet template for the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) contract 0CA26004 titled "30x30 Stewardship Engagement and Report." The project requires the contractor to develop the stewardship section of the 2027 Pathways to 30x30 Annual Report in fulfillment of Assembly Bill 900 (AB 900) statutory requirements. The contractor will synthesize and analyze existing research, data, and recommendations to assess statewide stewardship needs, document best practices, evaluate benefits, and outline strategies to strengthen stewardship of conserved lands in support of California's 30x30 conservation goals. Additionally, the contractor must conduct community outreach to conservation leaders and underserved communities to ensure their expertise and priorities are represented in the report, while coordinating closely with the CNRA Tribal Affairs Unit on tribal stewardship components.

The cost bid sheet provides a structured format for bidders to submit pricing across multiple cost categories: labor costs with estimated hours and rates by position; engagement and meeting costs for in-person events and facilitation; other direct costs such as data licensing, software, printing, and communications; travel costs subject to California Human Resources (CalHR) guidelines; and subcontracting costs. Bidders may apply an indirect cost rate up to 20% on the direct costs base, excluding subcontractor expenses. The template indicates all cost fields are currently populated with $0.00 placeholder values, requiring bidders to complete their actual cost proposals. The grand total cost bid combines direct costs, allowable indirect costs, and subcontracting costs for the complete project price submission.
