Attachment J.1 - Cost Proposal Template (CPFF) (693JJ926R000067).xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Template (CPFF) for use in responding to solicitation 693JJ926R000067, which concerns updates to the Countermeasures That Work (CMTW) and Countermeasures At Work (CMAW) guides maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The template is structured for a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract type and provides a standardized format for offerors to submit pricing across multiple task categories.

The template includes sections for Direct Labor costs organized by task (Tasks 1, 2, and 3) with corresponding hours, hourly rates, and total cost calculations. Additional cost elements include Fringe Benefits, Travel expenses, Subcontractor costs (with space for up to seven subcontractor lines), and Other Direct Costs. The template concludes with a cascading calculation structure that includes Subtotal All Direct Costs, Indirect Costs, Subtotal Costs Before Fee, and a Fee/Profit line to arrive at the Total Price. Offerors are permitted to add additional columns as necessary to incorporate all required tasks. The template requires specification of fringe benefit rates, indirect cost rates, and fee/profit percentages but does not prescribe specific rates or pricing values, leaving these for individual contractor proposal responses.
