Summary

Exhibit E is a cost proposal template for the Frosty Hollow Park Trail project issued by an unnamed state or local agency in Pennsylvania. The template is designed for consulting firms to submit detailed cost proposals organized into three primary phases: Project Initiation, Preliminary Design, and Final Design, with an additional section for other costs and expenses. The Preliminary Design phase encompasses multiple deliverables including property boundary survey and base plan preparation, environmental clearance and categorical exclusion, horizontal and vertical design, erosion and sediment control planning, stormwater management, infiltration testing, Mill Creek tributary crossing design, crosswalk design, ADA facilities design, NPDES permitting, utility coordination, easement plans, and right-of-way plans. The Final Design phase includes the Plan, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) package, final design plans, PennDOT approvals, pavement marking and signing, miscellaneous permits, and final utilities. The template also includes provisions for construction consultation services, meetings, and project management/quality assurance activities.

The cost proposal template requires firms to submit pricing for the lead consultant and up to five subconsultants, with separate columns for hours and costs for each entity. Firms must itemize all labor hours and associated costs for each task and subtask across all project phases, with totals calculated for each section and a grand total project cost reflected at the completion of the proposal. The template does not specify contract award dates, renewal options, set-asides, or other contractual terms, as it is a cost submission format rather than a complete solicitation document. No pricing information, budget constraints, or funding sources are referenced in this exhibit.
