Attachment 2 Budget Template.docx

This is a budget template document issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for the Clean Watershed Needs Survey contract opportunity. The template establishes the required budget line item structure that offerors must follow when submitting their quotes, allowing offerors to either use the provided template or submit their own format that includes the specified minimum categories. The scope of work is divided into six primary activities: reviewing EPA CWNS Manuals and Guidance; surveying Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) needs of the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (WPCRF) Intended Use Plan entities; surveying CIP needs of entities not listed on the IUP; surveying CIP needs of entities with compliance schedules; responding to EPA reviews and audits; and conducting meetings and trainings.

For each of the six primary activities, offerors must provide unit rates, number of hours, and total costs, with specific line items for a Project Engineer (PE) assigned to the project and any additional staff members. Offerors are required to include any additional costs associated with each activity and calculate a total activity cost for each of the six primary activities. This budget structure ensures transparency and allows CDPHE to evaluate offeror proposals consistently across labor costs, staffing allocations, and project expenses.
