This is a Cost Worksheet document prepared by the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) in partnership with the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for a Request for Quote (RFQ) related to statewide Catalyst Convenings. The project involves supporting the planning and execution of nine regional convenings across California from 2027 through Spring 2028, with responsibilities encompassing event planning and project management, outreach and engagement, on-site day-of support including audio/visual services, development and synthesis of materials and meeting notes, production of signage and branded materials, coordination with speakers and stakeholders, and final reporting. The RFQ (SPPD25027) is open to certified small business contractors. Addendum 1 was posted on April 27, 2026, updating the Best Value scoring criteria, and Addendum 2 was posted on May 8, 2026, providing a Questions & Answers document.

The Cost Worksheet requires proposers to complete two primary components: a General Cost Summary Worksheet detailing all labor costs for key personnel and subcontractors by job title and classification, hours of service, hourly rate, and total projected cost, along with direct and indirect costs including travel, equipment, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses; and a Cost By Task Worksheet breaking down costs by individual tasks and subtasks using fully burdened hourly rates. Proposers must distinguish between loaded rates (with indirect costs included) and actual rates (with overhead listed separately) and provide itemized descriptions for all direct costs and travel expenses. The worksheets accommodate both prime contractor and subcontractor labor allocations across multiple task categories.
