Attachment_F_-_Cost_&_Rates.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Attachment F template for the City of Seattle's Native Salmonid Conservation Facility (NSCF) Westslope Cutthroat Trout (WCT) Spawning Matrix and Database Support Project. The RFQ solicits proposals with a submission deadline of 4:00 pm on Monday, September 28, 2026, with questions due by 4:00 pm on Friday, September 18, 2026, through the e-procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/seattle. The project requires consultant pricing to encompass all deliverables outlined in the Scope of Work, with services priced on a firm-fixed-price basis.

The cost proposal template requests hourly rates for multiple labor categories including Project Manager, Subject Matter Expert 1, Subject Matter Expert 2, and additional vendor categories as necessary, along with estimated hours and total costs for each position. Respondents must provide a fixed bid for Phase 1, a separate rate schedule for potential future endeavors, and itemized travel and expense estimates, with reimbursement limited to actual and qualifying expenses incurred during service performance. The template requires vendors to indicate their confidence level (by percentage) in meeting the quoted price and deliverables, acknowledging project variables that may affect cost outcomes.
