Attachment 1 Cost Proposal.xlsx

This is a cost proposal template for the HUD 2026 Innovative Housing Showcase Event Planning, Logistics, and Graphics/Marketing solicitation. The template provides a structured format for offerors to submit estimated costs across multiple cost categories including direct labor, overhead, travel, equipment and supplies, consultants, subcontracts, and other direct costs. The personnel section itemizes staffing requirements for planning and execution phases, with examples including executive leadership, event management, site planning, public relations, support staff, and equipment operators across approximately 35 days of planning effort and 10 days of showcase execution. Equipment and supplies line items include portable toilets, security services, dumpsters, generators, office trailers, golf carts, barricades, audio-visual equipment, cranes, staging trucks, forklifts, tents, paramedic services, parking, signage, and exhibit monitors. The template allows for application of overhead rates, general and administrative charges, and fee percentages (a 5% fee on direct labor is shown as an example) to calculate total loaded labor and overall project costs. All cost entries must be captured in the Total Estimated Costs field. Proposals are due by 12:00 p.m. EST on Monday, May 4, 2026, and must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer at Shelli.J.Waltz@hud.gov.
