Attachment C - Budget Template.xlsx

This is a Budget Template (Attachment C) for a state or local contract proposal that provides a standardized framework for vendors to submit project costs across multiple budget categories. The template is designed to capture comprehensive project budgeting information organized by cost line items including Personnel (Salary and Wages), Fringe Benefits, Travel, Equipment, Material & Supplies, Consultant (Professional Services), Training and Education, and Additional Cost Items. Each category includes detailed worksheets where vendors must itemize specific costs, quantities, rates, and bases of calculation. The template requires vendors to provide project names, project IDs, and year-specific budget allocations, with space for narrative explanations supporting each cost category. All direct administrative costs must be included in the total project budget; indirect administrative percentages are not permitted.

The budget template requires vendors to calculate and present a comprehensive Total Project Budget that consolidates all cost categories for the specified project year. Vendors must designate an authorized representative to sign and date the proposal, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the submitted budget. The template is flexible, allowing vendors to add additional cost line items as needed to accommodate project-specific requirements. This standardized format ensures consistent budget presentation across all proposals and facilitates transparent cost comparison and evaluation by the awarding agency.
