Att D - Cost Proposal -ready.xlsx

This document is a Cost Proposal Attachment D for RFP 25-83926, involving the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) for assessing Soil and Water Conservation District needs. The two-year initial contract period includes six primary deliverables: organizing monthly workgroup meetings, developing draft and final assessment methodologies, creating draft and final assessment reports, and conducting up to three presentations or webinars for various stakeholders including federal and state agency personnel, government officials, and partners. The proposal template covers three additional years (Years 3-5: 2026-2029), allowing for potential contract extension.

The cost proposal requires respondents to complete yellow-shaded cells with all-inclusive pricing, with the total bid amount serving as the evaluation metric. Notably, the document emphasizes that no additional costs beyond the submitted proposal will be accepted by the state. For MBE/WBE subcontractor commitments, respondents should calculate percentages based on the total bid amount. The current file shows placeholder values of $0.00, indicating that a specific vendor has not yet completed the pricing section. The proposal appears designed to solicit comprehensive pricing for a detailed assessment and reporting project focused on Soil and Water Conservation District capacity development.
