About this file

This file is a Cost Proposal Form for the Federal Transit Administration's Section 5311(f) Intercity Bus Program administered by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, Bureau of Rail and Transit, covering the fiscal years 2027 and 2028 (June 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028). The form provides a comprehensive budget structure organized into four main cost categories: Administration, Capital-Preventive Maintenance, Operating, and In-Kind Match. The document includes detailed object codes and descriptions aligned with the FTA Uniform System of Accounts, covering labor costs (administrative salaries, operators' wages, fringe benefits including FICA, pension plans, health insurance, and workers' compensation), services (management fees, advertising, professional services, training, maintenance), materials and supplies (inventory, office supplies, fuel, tires), utilities, casualty and liability insurance, taxes and licensing fees, and miscellaneous expenses. The form requires vendors to project full-year costs for both SFY 2027 and SFY 2028, calculate projected revenue miles by route and month, and compute depreciation costs based on vehicle class and mileage useful life classifications ranging from 150,000 to 600,000 miles depending on vehicle type.

The cost proposal form requires detailed documentation and supporting evidence for all claimed expenses, including personal activity reports and payroll registers for labor costs, vendor invoices and receipts for services and materials, lease agreements for facility rentals, and settlement documentation for insurance payouts. The form calculates key performance metrics including Projected Gross Operating Cost per Mile, Depreciation Cost per Mile, and Projected Net Operating Cost per Mile (accounting for farebox revenue deductions). Vendors must also identify any in-kind match sources available to offset matching fund requirements, with projections tracked separately for both fiscal years. The document references the NHDOT Public Transportation Programs State Management Plan for vehicle depreciation tables and requires all cost calculations to conform to OMB Circular A-87 or A-122 standards depending on the vendor's organizational status. All expenses must directly relate to the intercity bus service operation and be subject to allocation in accordance with approved indirect cost allocation plans where applicable.
