Costsheet - Implementation - 12.23.25.xlsx

This is a cost sheet for implementation activities submitted by the Nebraska Department of Education in response to an RFI for grant writing and implementation providers. The document outlines a detailed project cost breakdown organized by deliverable categories including grant-funded activities (both hourly-based and deliverables-based), reporting activities, compliance activities, monitoring activities, and evaluation activities. The RFI process requires implementation providers to submit comprehensive action plans addressing discretionary funding requirements from federal, state, or private sources, with detailed approaches to each cost category. Responses are due electronically by January 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with potential oral interviews and presentations scheduled between February 2-6, 2026. All vendors must submit a Corporate Overview, Scope of Work, Form A (Vendor Contact Sheet), and Form B (Vendor Cost Sheet) as part of their response.

The cost sheet presented shows all line items totaling $0.00, indicating this is a template or placeholder document rather than a finalized cost proposal with actual pricing data. Vendors responding to this RFI must provide detailed hourly rates or deliverables-based pricing structures depending on their service offerings. The Nebraska Department of Education explicitly prioritizes vendors willing to provide grant writing services at no cost, indicating a preference for cost-effective or value-based solutions. The procurement process aims to create a qualified provider pool for future grant applications across four strategic priorities: accelerating student achievement, growing the educator pipeline, equipping learners for the workforce, and providing exceptional service. Funding sources include federal, state, and private discretionary funds, though no specific award value or budget range is outlined, suggesting flexibility in project scopes and vendor selection.
