Attachment_5_-_Budget_Proposal_Template.xlsx

This is a budget proposal template document from the San Francisco Sheriff's Office Financial Services for use during fiscal years 202X-202X, designed for agencies responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or seeking grant and contract funding. The template provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to submit detailed budget proposals covering a grant or contract period from July 1, 202X through June 30, 202X. The document includes structured sections for itemizing program salaries and fringe benefits, direct program operating expenses, program sub-contract services, and program equipment purchases, with each category requiring detailed line-item breakdowns and supporting calculations that automatically populate a summary budget page.

The budget proposal template establishes specific parameters for cost allocation and approval. Non-program indirect and administrative overhead costs are capped at 20 percent of total program costs and are only permitted for program salaries and fringe benefits, with any excess requiring sufficient justification and approval from the Sheriff's Chief Financial Officer. The template requires detailed accounting including hourly rates, full-time equivalent (FTE) calculations, fringe benefit percentages, monthly expense amounts, contract service descriptions with hourly rates and estimated hours, and equipment purchase justifications. Additionally, agencies must submit copies of contracts or agreements with any sub-contractors or consultants identified in the budget proposal to the Sheriff's Office Financial Services, and a budget justification form must be completed when responding to an RFP, along with assignment of appropriate accounting codes for all expenditures.
