About this file
This is a Project Costs Submission Template for the New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs' Request for Proposals for Broadband Build for Unserved Locations, funded through Coronavirus Capital Project Funds. Applicants must submit detailed project costs using this standardized Excel template, with proposals due electronically by December 23, 2025, at 4:00 PM EDT. The template requires applicants to complete two fillable tabs: Project Info and Project Cost Details. Applicants must provide granular cost breakdowns for individual line items, identifying each cost component, selecting the appropriate budget category, specifying total costs and grant funds requested, and supplying narrative justification for each cost estimate. The Project Cost Summary tab automatically populates from the submitted detail data and displays totals by nine budget categories. Vendor selection is anticipated for January 13, 2026, with a targeted Governor and Executive Council meeting on February 11, 2026, and all projects must be completed by December 31, 2026.
The nine eligible budget categories for cost allocation include Planning/Project Management, Design Engineering, Permitting, Real Property, Network Deployment, Network Equipment, Subscriber Activations, Contingencies, and Miscellaneous. Applicants must demonstrate understanding of project costs through sufficient descriptive detail to verify cost item eligibility, including proposed construction methodologies and material specifications with cost estimate bases and justifications. The total funding available does not exceed $2,096,771, subject to Governor and Executive Council approval. All submissions must contain project and applicant information matching identical fields in the primary application, including project name, organization name and address, Unique Entity Identifier, primary contact information, and complete cost documentation to support evaluation under the procurement's 100-point scoring system that includes budget approach and cost per passing considerations.
