Appendix B - Cost_Price_Models.xlsx

This is a cost proposal model template for use in Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) agreements. The form is designed for prospective recipients to detail proposed costs and is formatted as an Excel spreadsheet with BAA number 693JJ319BAA0001. The template provides standardized line items for cost estimation across multiple categories: personnel (nine categories with fields for estimated hours, hourly rates, and total costs), fringe benefits with an overhead rate percentage, travel (multiple trip entries), equipment, supplies, contractual/consultants, and other direct costs. Each section rolls up to a total direct charge, which then feeds into an indirect charge calculation for Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs based on a specified rate and basis, with a final total cost line. The form requires offerors to input their name, project description, home office address, and work performance locations. This appendix is a blank template without specific pricing terms, response deadlines, or award information, serving solely as a standardized cost submission format for FHWA-sponsored agreements and solicitations.
