About this file

This is a cost proposal worksheet for the Incorporated County of Los Alamos, New Mexico, related to a solicitation for Financial and Compliance Audit Services under the State of New Mexico Audit Act. The worksheet is designed for offerors to propose costs for audit services including financial statement audits, federal single audits, and preparation and compilation of Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR), as well as agreed-upon procedures (AUPs) for resource pool audits, cost allocation plan reviews, lodger's tax audits, and financial assurances. The cost proposal covers six fiscal years from fiscal year end June 30, 2026, through June 30, 2031, with an optional extension period for fiscal years ending June 30, 2032 and 2033. Offerors are required to provide detailed line-item costs with associated hours for each service category and fiscal year.

The worksheet specifies that all costs must be submitted in United States dollars and that cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contracts are prohibited. Offerors are expected to include travel fees within their proposed pricing rather than proposing them as direct reimbursable costs, as the majority of audit services are to be performed remotely and all AUP services will be performed remotely. The document permits offerors to propose price escalation mechanisms for future years using various methods including specified dollar amounts, percentages, capped not-to-exceed amounts, or formula-based approaches such as Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index adjustments. Offerors must also provide hourly rates and fees for any additional and optional products and services that the County may request during the contract term, and must describe the process and timing for notifying the County of any proposed increases under index-based escalation formulas.

Offeror Company Name:

Solicitation No.:

Solicitation Title:

Name and Title of the Person Completing this Form

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Using this form, or Offeror’s own similarly formatted document, propose costs for all services, defined clearly in individual line items. If more space is needed, Offerors may add rows to clearly describe all costs or may provide more information separately.

2. All costs proposed must be in the currency of the United States of America.

3. Describe costs for reimbursable expenses, if any.

4. Describe costs for any additional and optional services Offeror may propose that are not already clearly described.

5. In accordance with County Code, the use of a cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contract is prohibited.

6. Provide costs for all services (including additional, optional, and future services) for all years of an agreement. County will consider, but is under no obligation to accept proposed future year unit prices or price escalations, which may include but are not limited to price escalations based on:

a. a specified dollar amount;

b. a specified percentage;

c. a capped not-to-exceed dollar amount or percentage (e.g., annual increases will never exceed the lesser of $1,000.00 or 3%, per year over the prior year’s fee amounts);

d. or some other formula (e.g., a specific Producer Price Index or Consumer Price Index).

7. If proposing a price escalation mechanism for future years of an agreement where a specified dollar amount or specified percentage has not been proposed (e.g., if using a CPI), Offerors should also clearly describe the process and timing for Offeror to notify County of any such increase and the process by which County would approve such an increase in future years. County, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept any given proposed fees and price escalation mechanism and process for any agreement term length.

8. It is expected that the majority of audit services will be performed remotely while all AUP services will be performed remotely. It is expected that Offerors proposed pricing includes any and all travel fees and that travel fees are not proposed as direct reimbursable costs.
