This is a Cost Worksheet (Exhibit B-1) for a contract opportunity with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) involving animal care and laboratory services. The contract encompasses seven primary tasks: animal care and use inspections and program reviews (15 reviews), development of program descriptions (2 reports), review and approval of animal use protocols (2 reviews), occupational health reviews and recommendations (2 reviews), attending veterinarian duties (20 hours), whistleblower corrective action calls and violations of animal laboratory use (1 inspection), and mass colony euthanasia (1 event). The worksheet includes provisions for unanticipated tasks not to exceed 10 percent of the total contract cost. The document requires an authorized representative's signature and certification that all submitted materials and deliverable costs are accurate and will remain in effect throughout the contract term.

CDPH has allocated $50,000.00 as the maximum contract amount, and any bids exceeding this threshold will be deemed nonresponsive and excluded from consideration. All deliverable costs must be fully loaded to include operating expenses, labor, equipment, supplies, overhead, annual inflation adjustments, profit margins, taxes, and shipping. The State will compensate the contractor only for actual services performed and accepted upon receipt and approval of invoices; preparatory expenses and anticipated future needs are not reimbursable. Personnel resources expended on task accomplishment beyond authorized costs will be provided at no cost to the State. Travel reimbursement is not permitted under this contract. Subcontractors may be utilized for project execution.
