About this file
The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Brownfields Environmental Site Assessment Services, issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) located in Phoenix, Arizona. The solicitation number is BPM006394, and the primary offeror is Terracon, a large national consulting firm experienced in Federal, State, and local government contracts.
The RFP seeks environmental site assessment services with a detailed pricing methodology that includes calculating hourly rates based on average salary, overhead rate (199.72%), fixed fee (10%), and facilities capital cost of money (FCCM) rate (0.85%). As an example, for the Professional Level VI classification, Terracon proposed an hourly rate of $195.00, which represents a 24% reduction from the calculated base hourly rate of $256.65. The pricing document requires offerors to complete both a Word attachment and an Excel pricing sheet, with failure to do so potentially resulting in offer rejection. Pricing is to be submitted on an all-inclusive basis, covering labor rates, benefits, insurance, taxes, overhead, and administrative costs, with ADEQ specifying they will not reimburse any costs beyond the rates contained in the pricing schedule.

Offeror Response:
As a large national consulting firm, Terracon works on a variety of Federal, State, and local government contracts, some of which are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and related regulations and guidance. Therefore, we continually calculate and document our overhead rate and facilities capital cost of money (FCCM) in accordance with applicable Federal and
State acquisition requirements. These rates, in addition to the average salary rate of personnel expected to work on this Brownfields Environmental Site Assessments contract and a Fixed Fee, are used to calculate the base salary rate.

Attachment 13 – Pricing Document continued “Best and Final Offer”
The proposed Brownfields Environmental Site Assessment contract rates are then calculated by reducing the base salary rate by up to 33 percent to provide competitive rates to the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and to demonstrate Terracon’s commitment to remain a team member on the Brownfields Environmental Site Assessment contract.
Average salary rates were calculated by first identifying the technical, field, and administrative staff that are likely to work on this project. These individuals were classified in accordance with the minimum qualifications, responsibilities, and education listed in the Pricing Sheet
(Attachment 13 of the Request for Proposal) and the average salary of the individuals in each classification was calculated. The base hourly rate was then calculated using the average salary, overhead rate (199.72%), fixed fee (10%), and FCCM rate (0.85%). The calculation of the hourly rate for the Professional Level VI classification of $215.00 is illustrated as follows:
Base Hourly Rate (Professional Level VI) = Salary Rate + Overhead Fee + Profit + FCCM Fee where:
Salary Rate = $77.65
Overhead Fee (Professional Level VI) = Salary Rate X Overhead Rate = ($77.65)(199.72%) =
$155.07
Profit = (Salary Rate + Overhead Fee) X Fixed Fee = ($77.65 + $155.07) X 10% = $23.27
FCCM Fee = Salary Rate X FCCM Rate = ($77.65)(0.85%) = $0.66
Base Hourly Rate (Professional Level VI) = $77.65 + $155.07 + $23.27 + $0.66 = $256.65
Proposed Brownfields ESA Hourly Rate (Professional Level VI) = $195.00 (24% reduction of
Base Hourly Rate)
