1-Cost Allocation-Attachment A - Budget Template.xlsx

This is a Cost Allocation Budget Template document prepared for Ventura County Behavioral Health (VCBH), a division of the County of Ventura Health Care Agency, in response to a Cost Allocation Software RFP. The template provides budget schedules for salary and benefits allocation across three fiscal years, beginning September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. The template was prepared by Dan Idell on October 22, 2015, and includes detailed salary and benefits schedules for the first, second, and third contract years. The staffing structure identified includes a Program Director allocated at 10 percent FTE with $1,500 salary and $500 benefits, and two Licensed Clinician positions each allocated at 20 percent FTE with $3,200 salary and $400 benefits per position. The contract period spans three 12-month fiscal years from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2029.

The template is designed for providers to detail revenue sources, direct operational expenses, indirect expenditures, and census reporting information. The document indicates that all revenue and expense line items are currently populated with zero values and require data entry by responding vendors in the highlighted green sections. The salary and benefits total across all three years is consistent at $9,200 annually ($7,900 in salaries plus $1,300 in benefits). Additional budget categories include direct operational expenses such as drugs and medications, food, professional medical services, utilities, office supplies, and travel, as well as indirect expenditures capped at 15 percent of direct expenses. The template also requires vendors to provide census data including average daily census, monthly encounters, average length of stay, and billable hours for each contract year.
