4-Cost Worksheet Exhibit B.xlsx

This is a cost worksheet exhibit for a fire alarm system bid submitted to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) for the systematic replacement and upgrade of conventional zoned fire alarm systems with fully addressable systems across multiple UTA campuses. The worksheet provides a standardized template for bidders to submit comprehensive pricing for fire alarm system installation projects across administrative buildings, maintenance facilities, transit centers, operations centers, warehouses, and support structures throughout Utah.

The cost worksheet is structured in seven sections to capture all project expenses: equipment and materials (including fire alarm control panels, detectors, notification devices, wiring, and hardware); labor costs across multiple categories including project management, fire alarm technicians, electricians, helpers, and programming and commissioning staff; engineering and design fees for system design, shop drawings, and permit drawings; permits and inspection fees from the Fire Department and AHJ; testing and certification costs; and additional costs such as equipment rental, mobilization, and training. Bidders are required to provide unit costs and total costs for materials, hourly rates for labor categories, and fixed costs for engineering, permits, testing, and additional services. The worksheet concludes with a cost summary section requiring subtotals for each cost category, with line items for overhead and profit percentages to calculate the final total bid price. A warranty period section is included as an optional component for professional bids.
