The cost proposal must include, at a minimum, two separate sections (provided in one submission): a cost summary, not to exceed two-pages (see ‘A’, below), must precede the detailed cost portion (see ‘B’ below) of the cost proposal. Additionally, include detailed cost submissions for all subcontractors and consultants.

A. Cost Summary (not to exceed 2-pages).

A summary cost proposal must be prepared that includes the cost elements presented in the following table based on 12-month increments. Add as many years to the summary as will be included in the full proposed period of performance. Note: The periods of performance must match the information presented in the Statement of Work.

* Note: Itemize any planned items costing greater than $5,000 (unit cost) immediately following the table; include all equipment/material (greater than $5000 unit cost) in Total Direct Material/Equipment in table. See Equipment/Government Property - Section ‘C’ herein.

B. Detailed Cost (no page limit) Offeror format acceptable provided it includes a detailed cost breakdown of all costs by cost element and SOW tasks based on 12-month increments. The offeror must also provide a narrative to support the requirements in each cost element. In addition, the detailed cost proposal must provide separate cost proposals for each subcontractor or consultant, which includes the same level of details required of the prime offeror. The detailed cost proposal will include the following three sections: (1) Tabular cost breakdown by cost element and SOW tasks based on 12-month increments; (2) Narrative to support the requirements in each cost element; and (3) Subcontractor cost breakdown, as appropriate.

Budgeted cost elements should reflect the following:

a. Individual labor categories or persons (principal investigator, graduate students, etc.), with associated labor hours and unburdened labor rates. Allowable charges for graduate students include salary, appropriate research costs, and tuition. Allowable charges for undergraduate students include salary and research training costs, but not tuition.

b. Cost of equipment, based on most recent quotations and itemized in sufficient detail for evaluation (see Section ‘C’ below).

c. Estimate of material and operating costs.

d. Travel costs and the relevance to stated objectives; number of trips, destinations, duration, if known and number of travelers per trip. Travel cost estimations should be based on rates referenced on the General Services Administration’s (GSA) per diem web page (http://gsa.gov/perdiem).

e. Publication and report costs.

f. Consultant fees (indicating daily or hourly rate) and travel expenses and the nature and relevance of such costs.

g. Computer services.

h. Subcontract costs and type (the portion of work to be subcontracted and rationale). Include detailed cost summary.

i. Communications costs not included in overhead.

j. Other Direct Costs.

k. Indirect costs.

l. Fee/Profit, if any, which an industrial/commercial organization proposes.
