Appendix C - Cost Submittal Worksheet (Addendum 1).xlsx

This is a Cost Submittal Worksheet (Appendix C, Addendum 1) for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL), supporting the Family Support Programs Request for Applications (RFA 25-RFA-13800). The worksheet provides a standardized template for applicants to submit detailed budget information for Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV) programs across Pennsylvania's 67 counties. Applicants must complete cost submissions for both Year 1 and Year 2, using identical total costs for both agreement years, and provide comprehensive budget narratives justifying all proposed expenditures. The application deadline is October 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, with questions due by September 15, 2026. The initial contract term is two years, renewable for up to three additional one-year periods based on performance.

The Cost Submittal Worksheet requires applicants to itemize and justify all direct and indirect costs across multiple budget categories including salaries and wages (with staff position titles and allocation percentages), benefits, supplies and materials, transportation and travel, purchased services, training (including model training and fees), indirect costs (capped at 15 percent of direct costs or approved federal negotiated rate), audit costs, and other operating costs. Applicants must specify which program type (EBHV Model or Enhancement) each cost is associated with, with Enhancement costs not to exceed 25 percent of total requested funding. No minimum or maximum award amount is specified; funding is determined based on applicant cost submissions and evaluated for feasibility and reasonableness relative to proposed activities and per-family service costs. All costs must be calculated to the nearest whole dollar amount, and applicants must perform at least 50 percent of total contract costs themselves while maintaining full responsibility for any subcontracted services. Grantees must submit three years of audited financial statements and comply with federal uniform administrative requirements, with single audits required for organizations expending $1 million or more in federal awards.
