Attachment_C_Cost_Detail.docx

This is a Cost Detail attachment for a solicitation issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Elk River Landfill North Development Area in Sherburne County, Minnesota. The cost proposal must be submitted using the provided Attachment C form as a separate document from the technical response and must include all costs associated with project completion, including travel expenses, mass mailings, fees, commissions, compensation, indirect costs, equipment, supplies, and other charges. Responders are required to identify the level of State participation in the contract and details of cost allowances for such participation. The proposal must remain open for acceptance until contract execution, solicitation cancellation, or 180 days after the solicitation due date, whichever occurs first.

The cost proposal must follow a deliverables-based approach, with responders completing a chart identifying each deliverable or project phase with an associated total cost for completion. Responders must also provide a list of all personnel expected to perform work under the contract, including job title and maximum hourly rate for each individual, which will be used during the contract negotiation phase. The State does not make regular time-based payments and will only pay for services performed or work delivered after completion. No cost information may be included in the technical proposal portion of the response.
