Attachment_5_Cost_Worksheet_Template.xlsx

This is a cost worksheet template document issued by the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation for state and local contract proposals. The template is designed to standardize cost proposal submissions from contractors and subcontractors bidding on projects. The document provides two primary worksheets: a General Cost Summary Worksheet for listing all associated costs including labor, indirect costs, and direct costs, and a Cost By Task Worksheet for breaking down expenses by specific project tasks and subtasks. Proposers are required to detail all key personnel involved in project execution, including their job titles, hours of service, and hourly rates, along with any subcontractor costs and miscellaneous expenses.

The cost proposal structure distinguishes between loaded rates (with indirect costs included in the hourly rate) and actual rates with separately listed overhead. The template explicitly prohibits indirect costs for contractors or subcontractors on this award, though the General Cost Summary Worksheet includes sections for overhead and fringe benefits calculation. Direct costs are itemized separately and include travel, equipment, supplies, and other project expenses. The Cost By Task Worksheet requires fully burdened hourly rates for consultants and organizes labor costs across prime contractors, subcontractors, and individual staff members by task or subtask, allowing for detailed cost tracking and allocation throughout the project lifecycle.
