Attachment B Cost Sheet Summary

This cost sheet is an attachment to the High-Quality IEP Development and Implementation Pilot Project solicitation issued by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE), Office of Special Education. The solicitation seeks a qualified contractor to implement a comprehensive service contract designed to assist selected Nebraska school districts in developing an integrated solution combining technology, professional development, and support services to enhance educator effectiveness in special education. The project deliverables include a digital platform for IEP development and implementation, professional learning resources, and data-driven tools aligned with ESSA Tiered Evidence standards. The solicitation was released on August 25, 2025, with proposals due by September 24, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The initial contract term is one year with potential renewal options for three additional one-year periods, providing a maximum contract duration of four years.

Attachment B functions as a blank cost sheet template requiring vendors to develop their own comprehensive cost structure and budget submission. The template includes line items for Project Planning and Management, four years of annual costs (Year 1 through Year 4), and a section for other associated costs. All cost fields currently display $0.00, indicating that prospective contractors must complete this form with their proposed pricing. No specific budget ceiling, funding source information, or set-aside designations are identified in this document. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent vendors. The comprehensive nature of the required deliverables—including technology platform development, professional development, and ongoing support services—suggests a substantial investment, though no explicit budget range is provided in the cost sheet template itself.
