Costsheet - Implementation - 12.23.25.xlsx

This is a cost sheet for grant writing implementation services submitted by a vendor in response to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Nebraska Department of Education. The cost sheet presents a detailed breakdown of total project costs organized by deliverable categories, including grant-funded activities on both hourly and deliverables-based models, as well as reporting, compliance, monitoring, and evaluation activities. The document shows all cost line items totaling $0.00, indicating that the vendor is proposing to provide implementation services at no cost to the department. The RFI itself establishes a January 21, 2026 response deadline at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and includes provisions for oral interviews and presentations between February 2-6, 2026, if determined necessary by NDE. The procurement seeks qualified providers to support four strategic priorities: accelerating student achievement, growing the educator pipeline, equipping learners for the workforce, and providing exceptional service.

The cost sheet structure aligns with NDE's requirement that all vendors submit completed Form B (Vendor Cost Sheet) with either hourly rates or deliverables-based pricing. This particular submission demonstrates the vendor's willingness to deliver implementation support services without direct cost to the state, reflecting NDE's stated preference for cost-effective solutions. The RFI does not establish a specific award value or budget range and makes no guaranteed selection for any particular grant project. Implementation providers must submit comprehensive action plans addressing discretionary funding requirements from federal, state, or private sources and detailing approaches to reporting, compliance, monitoring, and evaluation. Responses should be submitted electronically to NDE.Procurement@Nebraska.gov along with a Corporate Overview, Scope of Work, Form A (Vendor Contact Sheet), and the completed cost sheet.
