This is a sample cost proposal template for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of Oregon, Department of Administrative Services on behalf of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, for professional services to provide outreach, application support, and case management for construction apprentices and eligible journey workers seeking child care subsidies. The RFP was posted on February 24, 2025, with proposals due by March 31, 2025, allowing approximately 35 days for response preparation. The contract period spans a two-year biennium from January 2018 through December 2019. The primary deliverables include client engagement strategies, application processing assistance, ongoing case management, and support mechanisms designed to help construction industry workers maintain employment while managing child care responsibilities and advancing in workforce development.

The sample cost proposal template is structured to capture labor costs across five position categories: Program Manager, Accounting Administration, and three Program Staff positions, with separate line items for child care subsidies for apprentices and journey workers, plus other direct expenses such as travel and supplies. Vendors must provide hourly labor rates, overhead costs, and profit margins to calculate maximum billing rates for each classification. The template also requires documentation of total labor hours, total labor costs, child care subsidy allocations, and other direct expenses to arrive at a proposal total. The RFP is open to qualified professional services firms and nonprofit organizations with demonstrated expertise in workforce development and child care support services specific to the construction sector, with no explicit set-aside designations mentioned. Specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided materials, and vendors are directed to review additional attachments including the sample contract and comprehensive RFP documentation for complete requirements and evaluation criteria.
