7-Appendix C – Contract Budget Workbook – Congregate Nutrition.xlsx

This is a Contract Budget Workbook for Congregate Nutrition Services under the Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III-C-1 program, prepared for Delaware's Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Disabilities (DSAAPD). The workbook is designed to calculate unit costs for five meal types: Breakfast, Mid-Day, Dinner, Medical Food, and Grab and Go meals. The document provides a standardized template for agencies to break down and justify their meal costs across multiple expense categories including staff salaries, fringe benefits, training, facility costs, insurance, nutrition counseling, food supplies, and indirect costs. The budget workbook facilitates contract planning and validation for both Home-Delivered and Congregate Nutrition Services programs, establishing the foundation for determining total funding requirements based on planned units of service.

The budget workbook requires agencies to detail their unit cost methodology across 31 cost categories for each meal type, with automatic calculation of total unit costs and contract totals. Funding sources include planned USDA allocations, DSAAPD Title III-C-1 funding, and projected program income from donations. The workbook includes validation sections that reconcile planned units of service against maximum DSAAPD resources available, program income contributions, and matching fund requirements for both Home-Delivered and Congregate Nutrition Services separately. As of the revision date of August 1, 2023, this document serves as the standard budget submission tool for agencies seeking to contract with Delaware for nutrition services to older Americans, with all current entries showing zero values pending contractor completion and submission.
