A06_EstimatedExpenses_LCAI_Rd15.docx

This is an estimated expenses template form for archaeological resource projects in Lincoln County, Nevada, funded through the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) Round 15 solicitation. The form is designed for applicants to identify and quantify eligible project costs across seven categories: planning and environmental costs (specialist surveys and cultural resource documentation), project labor/payroll, contract costs (labor, supplies, and materials), project administration, official vehicle use on a pro rata basis, travel expenses including per diem for official travel, and other necessary expenses as defined in the Implementation Agreement. Applicants must also indicate which primary project type applies—inventory, evaluation, protection, or management of archaeological resources.

The form supports the BLM Nevada State Office's administration of Land Act funds designated for archaeological studies within Lincoln County. Projects may be pursued either through this simplified acquisition solicitation (140L3926Q0030) resulting in firm-fixed-price contracts, or alternatively through cooperative agreements via Grants.gov. Quotes submitted in response to this solicitation must include a performance-based statement of work with project description, methodology, timeline/milestones, and performance standards. Federal government agencies awarded contracts will execute Interagency Agreements under FAR Part 17.5, while all other contractors will operate under simplified acquisition procedures with firm-fixed-price terms.
