COMMBUYS Budget Response Template~26.xlsx

This file is a budget response template for the Technical Services Master Agreement RFR DER 2027-MSA solicitation. Bidders must complete three sections: the Primary Vendor Budget tab detailing labor costs by task and staff level, the Primary Vendor Direct Expenses tab providing an itemized breakdown of direct costs, and the Subcontractor(s) tab outlining any subcontractor work and associated expenses. The template accommodates up to six tasks and allows bidders to propose multiple subcontractors by listing them in the same tab while specifying which company performs each task. The template is structured to facilitate expedited bid responses, with all mathematical formulas pre-calculated to automatically compute subtotals and project totals based on staff hours, hourly rates, and direct expenses entered by the bidder.

Direct expenses that bidders may claim include travel mileage reimbursed at the current IRS rate of $0.655 per mile, rental and disposable items, laboratory fees, and public filings. Subcontractors are permitted an allowable markup of up to five percent on labor costs only. All terms and conditions of the Technical Services Master Agreement RFR DER 2027-MSA apply to the bid solicitation, bidder response, and any resulting awarded contract. The template is designed to ensure comprehensive cost tracking across primary vendor labor, direct expenses, and subcontractor contributions to provide a clear total project cost for evaluation purposes.
