About this file
This is a Proposal Budget Template for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Energy Resilience Construction Grants RFP. The template is mandatory for all applicants and must be included as part of their response to the RFP, with proposals due by May 8, 2026. Applicants are required to break down all project costs into specified budget categories: Planning and Permitting, Engineering, Travel, Capital Assets, Other Materials, Construction Labor, Testing and Commissioning, Legal and Administrative, and Other Expenses. The template requires applicants to separate costs into Internal Cost columns and up to three Subcontractor Cost columns, with the flexibility to add additional subcontractor columns as needed. All costs must be presented in 2026 year dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar, with applicants required to identify any costs associated with the construction and interconnection of new electric generation assets separately in Column H.
The budget template mandates that all entered costs comply with 2 CFR 200 allowability, allocability, and reasonableness standards, with applicable cost principles including FAR Part 31 for for-profit entities and 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E for non-federal entities. Applicants must include the total project cost covering all expenses, not only those for which grant funding is being requested, and must exclude costs related to proposal preparation and other grant applications. The template requires applicants to identify funding sources beyond DEEP, including Other Grants, Ratepayer Funds, Internal Funding, and Financing. Costs must reflect business travel reimbursable under IRS rules and exclude interest, cost of capital, depreciation, and other adjustments. The funding sources for this initiative include federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) 40101(d) formula funding for the first three years, state funding through Connecticut General Statutes 16-243y DEEP Climate and Resilience Fund to satisfy federal cost match requirements, and SEP-BIL State Energy Program funding to leverage both sources.
