Attachment 2 Budget Template.xlsx

This document is a Budget Template for Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025000257 issued by the State of Colorado, specifically targeting lead testing and remediation in child care facilities' drinking water. The RFP seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive services including outreach, enrollment, sampling plan development, water sample collection following CDPHE and EPA 3Ts guidance, remedial work (with plumbing and trades subcontractors encouraged), and follow-up training on lead reduction best practices. Contractor personnel working on-site during child care facility operations must pass a background check, and the primary contact for the solicitation is Kristi Gamble.

The budget template indicates a total bid not to exceed $1,810,000, with personal services costs capped at $900,000. The template allows bidders to detail personnel costs, including positions like Program Coordinator and Field Assistants, as well as remediation costs, travel expenses, equipment, and supplies. The proposal emphasizes that bids will be evaluated on the best use of the overall project budget, and lower costs will not necessarily result in a more favorable rating. Bidders are instructed to fill only in yellow cells and ensure that budgets match the total budget amount, with any proposals exceeding the not-to-exceed amount being automatically rejected.
