2-1-26-5-10-8 Rate Schedule Att F-1.xlsx

This is a Rate Schedule Attachment (F-1) for Request for Proposals #1-26-5-10-8 issued by the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) in support of the Maryland Port Administration's (MPA) Dredged Material Management Program. The rate schedule is designed for offerors to propose staffing and labor rates for public outreach and stakeholder engagement services, including planning, strategy development, implementation and maintenance of community outreach programs, development of communications tools, and community outreach services related to dredged material containment facilities, ecosystem restoration projects, and other initiatives throughout the Baltimore Harbor and Chesapeake Bay. Offerors must complete the spreadsheet by identifying proposed staff members from prime contractors, subcontractors, and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) subcontractors, listing job titles and providing corresponding hourly labor rates for each position.

The rate schedule establishes specific pricing parameters that offerors must follow when submitting proposals. Offerors must provide unloaded base hourly labor rates with an overhead/fringe rate of 130 percent for non-MPA projects and evidence of previously approved rates if exceeding the MPA standard ceiling of 130 percent. The maximum unloaded hourly labor rate is capped at $75 per hour, and the fixed fee (profit) is capped at 10 percent. The spreadsheet includes pre-populated formulas to calculate subtotals and fully billable rates, which offerors must verify for accuracy if adding additional rows or columns. Offerors are required to provide both MPA and non-MPA overhead/burden rates, and documentation of any approved rates exceeding the MPA ceiling must be submitted with the proposal.
