Attachment_1,_Cost_Proposal(s).xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal template document issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture for RFP 25-0077, which addresses the eradication of Plecostachys serpyllifolia (PLSE) from Channel Islands National Park. The template provides a standardized format for bidders to submit detailed cost proposals across a two-year contract period. Bidders are required to identify all deliverables and tasks, specifying hourly rates, number of hours, and total costs per task for each year. The proposal must include breakdowns for multiple task positions, subcontractor costs, supplies and equipment, other costs such as media and postage, travel expenses by category, and any applicable indirect costs with percentage rates.

The cost proposal template requires bidders to present comprehensive pricing information organized by deliverable for both Year 1 and Year 2, with cumulative totals for hours and costs per deliverable and an overall total proposed cost. Submissions must be provided in an Excel spreadsheet or Word table format following the specified structure. The template does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, award dates, or contract term details, as it serves solely as the submission format for cost components of the overall proposal.
