About this file

This is a Cost Proposal Worksheet from the Incorporated County of Los Alamos Procurement Division for Solicitation QUO27-32, Operating Food Pantry Services. The solicitation seeks to contract with an organization to operate food pantry services for County residents, ensuring access to safe, nutritious food and emergency food assistance regardless of economic status, location, or other barriers. The cost proposal worksheet is designed for offerors to submit detailed pricing for all services required under the contract, with the option to propose costs for up to seven years of service delivery. All costs must be proposed in United States currency, and offerors may add line items beyond those provided on the standard form to clearly describe all anticipated costs.

Pricing proposals must clearly delineate all direct service costs and any reimbursable expenses, with specific guidance provided for travel-related costs. The County prohibits cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contract arrangements. Offerors are permitted to propose price escalation mechanisms for future years, including specified dollar amounts, specified percentages, capped not-to-exceed amounts or percentages, or formula-based approaches such as Producer Price Index or Consumer Price Index adjustments. If utilizing an index-based escalation, offerors must clearly describe the process and timing for notifying the County of increases and obtaining approval. Travel reimbursement, if proposed, is limited to economical transportation options, with specific caps on lodging at $250.00 per night, per diem meals up to $90.00 daily for multi-day travel, and mileage reimbursed at the Internal Revenue Service rate or minimum of $0.45 per mile. Entertainment, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco products are not reimbursable expenses.
