This is a cost proposal spreadsheet for the MMCAP 2027 National Member Conference, submitted in response to an RFP issued by MMCAP, a division of the Minnesota Department of Administration. The conference is scheduled for either March 26-30, 2028, or April 2-6, 2028. The proposal template requests cost information organized into two primary categories: labor costs and direct costs. Labor costs include hourly rates and associated hours, while direct costs encompass travel for 2-3 onsite planners, registration website development including mobile app functionality, event technology support, credit card transaction fees for up to 125 vendors, shipping, materials, equipment rental such as session scanning devices, and other miscellaneous costs. The cost proposal serves as Attachment C to the bid submission and must be submitted electronically through the Supplier Portal by the deadline specified in the RFP.

The submitted cost proposal contains all line items with values populated at $0.00, indicating this is either a template document or a placeholder submission. The proposal structure itemizes specific anticipated expenses for the 2028 National Member Conference, with particular attention to vendor management (125 vendors identified for credit card transaction processing) and technology infrastructure requirements.
