This is a price proposal template spreadsheet for the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) Long Range Transit Plan consultant services project. The template is designed to facilitate cost estimation and project budgeting for consultant support services related to the UTA Moves 2055 Long Range Transit Plan development. The project is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2022, and conclude on December 31, 2023, representing approximately 82 weeks of work. The spreadsheet accommodates up to ten personnel categories with customizable job titles and allows for detailed task-based labor hour scheduling across the project duration.
The pricing structure employs a base rate multiplier of 3.00 to account for overhead and profit, with an additional 1.15 multiplier applied to other direct costs. Personnel rates serve as the foundation for cost estimation, with each category assigned a base rate and corresponding labor charge rate. The template includes provisions for contingency calculations, task-specific cost tracking, and aggregation of direct labor costs, direct charges, and total fees. Bidders are instructed to update only specified blue-highlighted fields with their firm name, owner information, personnel titles, base rates, and labor charge rates to generate comprehensive cost reports for proposal submission.
