3-2. Form 5 - Cost Proposal Form.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Form for RFP 2026-10 issued by the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) in California for Short-Range Transit Planning services. The form serves as the pricing submission template for qualified firms responding to the RFP. The project encompasses five required tasks: finalizing the scope of work, timeline, and deliverables; project management and coordination with LAVTA; review of current studies and data; development of a draft Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP); and development of a final SRTP. Additionally, two optional tasks are available for bidders to propose: development of a Ten-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Service Standards Development. Proposers are instructed to complete the form by entering staff assignments by name or title, hourly rates for each staff member, assigned hours per task, and direct expenses, with all other cells auto-calculating to generate subtotals and grand totals.

The form is structured to accommodate up to eight staff positions with individual hourly rates and task-specific hour allocations. Required tasks are subtotaled separately from optional tasks, with a grand total for all work provided at the bottom of the form. The cost proposal form functions as a standardized tool to ensure consistent pricing submissions across all responding firms, allowing LAVTA to evaluate proposals on a comparable basis. Specific pricing amounts, contract values, and budget constraints are not detailed in this form template itself, as they would be populated by individual bidders during the proposal submission process.
