Appendix 1 - Cost Proposal (fixed hourly rates).docx

This is a cost proposal template for fixed hourly rates submitted as part of a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Materials Testing and Inspection Services with the State of California. The template requires bidders to provide their firm name and establish fixed hourly rates for various job titles, along with identification of other direct costs and fully burdened rates. The document serves as Attachment B to the cost proposal submission and follows template version 6.9.21 standards for this procurement opportunity.

The pricing structure requires vendors to submit fixed hourly rates for specified job classifications, with provisions for other direct costs to be identified separately and fully burdened rates to be calculated. This format allows the State of California to evaluate labor costs on a standardized basis across competing proposals for materials testing and inspection services. Bidders must complete all required fields with their firm-specific rates to be considered for award under this procurement vehicle.
