This is a Cost Proposal template document for the California Department of Food and Agriculture Agreement Number 26-0015, which addresses a Treatment Coordinator position for Madera County. The contract requires the bidder to provide outreach, education, and treatment coordination services for commercial crop growers in Madera County, California. The cost proposal must be structured to identify all deliverables and associated tasks, with detailed breakdowns of labor costs, subcontractor expenses, supplies, equipment, travel, and indirect costs across a three-year contract period. Bidders are required to submit detailed cost proposals for each of the three contract years, specifying hourly rates, number of hours, and total costs per task and deliverable.

The cost proposal format mandates that bidders organize expenses by position-level labor rates, number of hours, and task-specific costs, along with itemized costs for subcontractors, supplies and equipment, other costs such as media and postage, and travel expenses broken down by category (mileage, lodging, airfare). Indirect costs must be identified with their percentage rates if applicable. The proposal must be submitted in either Excel spreadsheet format or as a table in Word document using the specified template. Each year's proposal culminates in a total proposed cost, enabling the California Department of Food and Agriculture to evaluate pricing across the full three-year service period for this Madera County treatment coordination initiative.
