About this file

This is a Cost Proposal Template document issued by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for Investment Advisory Services. The document provides standardized forms for respondents to submit comprehensive pricing for advisory services across multiple service categories, including investment advisory services, financial advisory services, and hourly project-based work. The contract term spans from 2026 to 2027 through 2029 to 2030, with two optional years extending through 2031 to 2032.

The template requires respondents to structure pricing for investment management fees based on a hypothetical $400 million portfolio using either a single flat-fee approach or a tiered fee structure across seven potential tiers, with fees calculated as percentages of assets under management. For supplemental services, respondents must provide hourly rates for identified team members or submit alternative fee arrangements such as per-transaction fees or not-to-exceed annual fees. The template also requires itemization of anticipated expenses to be billed separately, including travel-related costs such as mileage, tolls, parking, hotel, and meals, which are to be reimbursed at actual cost without markup. All cost responses must include complete information across all sections to avoid rejection as nonresponsive.

Section 2 - In addition to the traditional Investment Advisory Services covered under the AUM Fee above, the MSBA may require special projects from time to time. In order to help quantify the cost of these additional projects, please enter the Employee Name and Title for each member of the engagement team along with their Hourly Rates for each year (including Optional Years).
