Costsheet - Implementation.xlsx

This is a cost sheet for implementation services submitted in response to the Nebraska Department of Education's Request for Information (RFI) for Grant Writing Implementation Providers. The document presents a detailed cost breakdown across five categories: grant-funded activities on both hourly and deliverables-based bases, reporting activities, compliance activities, and monitoring activities. All line items currently reflect $0.00, indicating either a placeholder template or a submission indicating no direct costs associated with the implementation plan. The RFI seeks qualified providers to support the department's four strategic priorities: accelerating student achievement, growing the educator pipeline, equipping learners for the workforce, and providing exceptional service. Implementation providers must submit comprehensive action plans addressing discretionary funding requirements and detailed approaches to reporting, compliance, monitoring, and evaluation. Responses are due electronically by January 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with potential oral interviews and presentations scheduled for February 2-6, 2026, if deemed necessary by NDE.

The cost sheet serves as Form B (Vendor Cost Sheet), requiring vendors to provide either hourly rates or deliverables-based pricing structures for their implementation services. The submission demonstrates the expected format for cost documentation within the broader RFI response package, which also includes a Corporate Overview, Scope of Work, Form A (Vendor Contact Sheet), and this implementation cost sheet. The Nebraska Department of Education has explicitly prioritized vendors willing to provide services at reduced or no cost to the department, signaling a preference for cost-effective solutions. The RFI does not specify an overall award value or budget range, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection and project scopes. Funding sources mentioned include federal, state, and private discretionary funding sources, with the understanding that vendor selection for any specific grant project is not guaranteed. Responses should be submitted to NDE.Procurement@Nebraska.gov, and no specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information is referenced in the procurement process.
