Att D - Cost Proposal.xlsx

This is a cost proposal form (Attachment B) for RFI-26-84093 issued by the State of Indiana for Project Management Center of Excellence & Project Management as a Service, with responses due September 17, 2025 by 3:00 PM ET. The RFI seeks managed services staffing and consulting services for project management functions, requiring respondents to provide rates for three pre-filled position titles: Project Coordinator, Senior Project Manager, and Program Director. The form includes sections for both managed services staffing rates and consulting services deliverables, with specific instructions to complete yellow-shaded cells for hourly billable rates, position descriptions, and consulting service costs.

The cost proposal structure requires full-time and part-time hourly billable rates for each position, with options for bulk discounts when 8 or more FTEs are provided (example shows 10% discount). Hourly rates must factor in all costs including salary, benefits, travel, license fees, equipment, and supplies necessary to complete deliverables. The form calculates a total bid amount by combining the annual estimate from staffing rates with consulting services costs, though the current template shows error calculations indicating incomplete data entry. The document includes an example showing an Account Executive position at $125 full-time/$150 part-time hourly rates and Center of Excellence Consulting Services at $31,500 for Phase 0 (August-October 2025).
