AttE Budget and Justification Template.xlsx

This is a Budget and Justification Template for a Request for Proposal issued by the State of Oregon, Department of Human Services for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services. The template is structured to guide proposers in developing comprehensive budgets across five primary categories: Personnel (including full-time, part-time, and contracted positions), Capital Outlay for equipment, Other Direct costs (supplies, contracted services, and miscellaneous services), Participant Costs, and Administration expenses. Proposers are required to complete detailed budget summaries with corresponding narratives that explain the cost calculations, staffing roles, benefit structures, and service delivery components. The State anticipates awarding one contract for each of two service areas: Area 1 covering Portland-Metro with virtual services statewide, and Area 2 covering Salem-Corvallis-Eugene with virtual services statewide.

The template establishes that administration costs are capped at 15% of total direct costs and provides line item examples for categories including office supplies, computer maintenance, copier maintenance, space and utilities, telephone, printing, postage, travel, audit, insurance, training, and recruitment. Proposers must itemize all budget categories with corresponding formulas and justifications, with the template accommodating flexible staffing arrangements through FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) calculations. The budget narrative section requires detailed descriptions of each position's role, benefit types and percentage calculations, equipment cost justifications, and explanations for all direct and indirect costs to ensure transparency and alignment with the State's budgeting requirements for refugee employment and pre-employment training services.
