120003 O5 Cost Sheet.xlsx

This is a Pricing Schedule cost sheet for the Home Energy Rebate Programs Applications and Implementation contract opportunity, administered by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau. The document establishes a fixed-price, deliverable-based payment schedule for bidders to populate with costs associated with implementing the Home Energy Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) program under IRA Section 50121 and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program under IRA Section 50122. Part 1 deliverables focus on enabling the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEE) to submit application materials and the Market Transformation Plan to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), with monthly invoicing during the application phase. Part 2 deliverables encompass establishing program delivery infrastructure for both HOMES and HEAR programs, delivering rebates to eligible recipients, enabling quarterly DOE reporting, submitting program continuation applications to unlock subsequent funding tranches, and submitting close-out documentation. The contract term extends six years from execution through September 30, 2031, with potential extensions.

All prices, costs, and terms submitted in proposals must remain fixed and valid from the proposal opening date through contract termination or expiration. This funding does not include programmatic funding for actual home energy rebates to be delivered to eligible recipients; rather, it covers administrative and implementation costs. The contractor's funding availability is contingent upon successful submission of application and continuation documents through which NDEE will secure performance-based tranches of federal funding from the $8.8 billion federal allocation ($4.3 billion for HOMES and $4.5 billion for HEAR). Bidders must provide detailed explanations in their Project Management Approach section regarding how rebate deployment results will be measured against established program performance goals for each invoicing period. The total proposal amount and other costs are to be populated by bidders on the cost sheet, with all blank milestone costs currently shown as zero pending bidder submission.
