70CNR-S3893 Cost Schedule~1.doc

This is a Cost Schedule document for RFP# 70CNR-S3893 issued by the State of Nevada Purchasing Division on behalf of the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation. The document solicits proposals for Certified Environmental Manager services to support interim fluid management operations at a mine site. The cost schedule establishes the framework for vendor pricing and does not specify quantities, response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract term information within this document.

The cost schedule requires vendors to submit direct labor rates (excluding overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit) for ten personnel categories including Program Director/Principal, Associate or Project Manager, Senior Engineer, Senior Hydrogeologist, Project Geologist, Project Engineering, Project Draftsperson, Field Technician, Administrative/Billing, and two additional positions at vendors' discretion. Vendors must also propose billing rates with direct labor overhead multiplier built in for the same positions, with all rates remaining fixed for the contract's duration. The document permits indirect cost reimbursement for travel per current fiscal year State and GSA guidelines, allows main contractors only to request 5% management mark-up on both partnering sub-contractor and outside service sub-contractor invoices, and enables cost recovery for equipment on a daily or unit basis. Vendors may request additional indirect costs with detailed breakdowns and supporting cost sheets as attachments.
