Attachment 2 Budget Template.docx

This is a budget template document prepared by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for the Clean Watershed Needs Survey contract opportunity in Colorado. The template establishes the required budget line items and structure that offerors must include in their cost proposals, allowing flexibility for offerors to use the provided template or submit their own format provided all specified line items are included. The project encompasses six primary activities: reviewing EPA CWNS Manuals and Guidance; surveying Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) needs of Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (WPCRF) Intended Use Plan (IUP) 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.

Each primary activity requires offerors to specify unit rates, number of hours, and total costs, with line items for a Professional Engineer (PE) assigned to the project and any additional staff members. Offerors must also identify any additional costs associated with each activity and provide a total activity cost. The budget template does not specify contract duration, funding amounts, award dates, or other contractual terms within this document alone, as it serves solely as a pricing and cost allocation framework for proposal submission.
