Attachment I - Cost Proposal_PDF version_1.pdf

This is a cost proposal form for the Department of Public Health (DPH) in San Francisco, California, soliciting as-needed radiation safety consulting services. The RFP was published on September 11, 2026, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for September 22, 2026, via Microsoft Teams. The deadline for submitting questions is September 29, 2026, with a Q&A addendum anticipated on October 6, 2026. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM PT on October 14, 2026, with an estimated award announcement on November 13, 2026, and a contract start date of March 1, 2027. DPH seeks qualified firms to provide a Radiation Safety Officer and support staff to ensure safe and compliant use of ionizing radiation, including regulatory compliance activities, nuclear medicine program development, audits, personnel dosimetry oversight, training, documentation management, and consultation during regulatory inspections.

The cost proposal requires proposers to submit hourly rates for three staffing categories: a Radiation Safety Consulting Officer, Support Staff #1, and Support Staff #2, with estimated annual hours of 850, 200, and 100 hours respectively, totaling 1,150 hours per year. Proposed consultant hourly rates must be all-inclusive and reflect all costs associated with assigned staff, including salaries, administrative fees, travel, and other personnel-related expenses. The form explicitly states that estimated hours provided by the City are for evaluation purposes only and do not constitute a minimum work commitment, and the information is used solely for cost comparison without determining final contract value.
