About this file

This is a Cost Proposal Worksheet issued by the Incorporated County of Los Alamos Procurement Division for Solicitation No. RFI27-01 regarding SMART Recovery for Juveniles. The solicitation seeks contracted facilitation of juvenile-focused SMART Recovery meetings to provide evidence-based recovery support for youth facing substance use and behavioral health challenges. The program will utilize cognitive behavioral and motivational approaches to help participants develop coping strategies, manage impulses, and build resilience while promoting positive behavior change and reducing recidivism. The worksheet accommodates cost proposals across seven contract years, allowing offerors to structure pricing for the full agreement term.

Offerors must submit detailed cost estimates in U.S. dollars for all services, including reimbursable expenses and any optional services, clearly itemized by line item across all contract years. The County permits price escalation mechanisms for future years using specified dollar amounts, percentages, capped increases, or formulas such as the Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index; however, cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contracts are prohibited under County Code. Travel costs, if proposed as direct reimbursable expenses, must comply with the County's Travel Guidelines, which specify maximum rates for lodging ($250 base rate per night), meals ($90 per diem for multi-day travel or $40 daily for single-day travel), mileage (Internal Revenue Service standard rate or minimum $0.45 per mile), and commercial airline coach fares, with documentation required for all expenses. Entertainment, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco products are not reimbursable.
