Attachment_5_Cost_Worksheet.xlsx

This is a Cost Worksheet template document from the Governor's Office of Service and Community Engagement used for state and local contract proposals. The worksheet is designed to capture comprehensive cost information from proposers, including labor costs for all key personnel and subcontractors assigned to the project. Proposers must complete two primary sections: the General Cost Summary Worksheet, which consolidates all associated costs such as labor (organized by job title/classification with hours and hourly rates), indirect costs (overhead and fringe benefits), and direct costs (travel, equipment, supplies, and other expenses); and the Cost By Task Worksheet, which breaks down costs by specific project tasks and subtasks using fully burdened hourly rates for all consultant staff from both prime contractors and subcontractors.

The worksheet requires detailed cost accounting across multiple categories to ensure transparent budget development. Labor costs must specify whether rates are loaded (with indirect costs included) or actual rates with overhead listed separately. Indirect costs include overhead rates, fringe benefits, and subcontractor-specific overhead and benefits. Direct costs encompass travel expenses (with trip descriptions), equipment and supplies (itemized with justification), and other direct costs (with purpose statements). The Cost By Task section requires proposers to assign personnel hours and costs to defined project tasks and subtasks, enabling line-item cost tracing and budget accountability throughout project execution.
