This is a proposed budget form for the Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) Services contract opportunity issued by the Los Angeles County Aging & Disabilities Department in California. The document serves as the financial proposal template that prospective bidders must complete to submit their cost estimates for providing FCSP services to unpaid, informal caregivers and older relative caregivers. The budget form is designed to capture all direct and indirect costs associated with delivering support services intended to reduce caregiver burden, enable caregivers to maintain workforce participation, and prevent or delay the need for higher levels of care for care recipients.

The budget form requires detailed line-item cost breakdowns across specified budget categories to ensure transparent and comparable financial proposals from all bidders. The document establishes the framework for evaluating the fiscal feasibility and cost-effectiveness of proposed service delivery models. Bidders must provide comprehensive cost information that aligns with their proposed service plans and staffing structures, allowing Los Angeles County to assess both the quality and affordability of each proposal. The budget submission is a mandatory requirement for proposal evaluation, and all costs must be clearly documented and justified based on the scope of services and anticipated service volume outlined in the RFP.
