This is a cost proposal form submitted to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) for the Rural Hospital Training and Technical Assistance Center (RHTAC) initiative, designated as DOH 59719. The project involves providing no-cost technical assistance, training, and workshops to Ohio's rural hospitals, with particular emphasis on hospital administrators facing financial, operational, and sustainability challenges. The contractor must deliver a training needs assessment in Quarter 1 of 2027, develop a schedule of training events based on data-driven decision-making, secure a venue and manage a 2027 summit with outreach, registration, agenda development, presenter coordination, and participant evaluation collection. Additional deliverables include providing monthly summaries of ongoing technical assistance activities, monthly updates on sustainability initiatives with Ohio Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), monthly training rosters and evaluation results for a minimum of 10 annual events, and monthly progress reports with participation in ODH conference calls. The contractor must submit a revised workplan within 30 days of contract award. The contract period runs from November 2, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with two optional renewal periods: July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2029, and July 1, 2029, through June 30, 2031.

The cost proposal form indicates that all budget line items—including personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual costs, and other direct costs—are currently listed as zero dollars, with administrative costs capped at 10% of the grand total. The form provides categories for both non-administrative and administrative costs across multiple budget periods but contains no populated financial data. The document requires potential offerors to provide organization name, state supplier ID, address, and contact information. No specific funding amounts, budget allocations, or pricing structures are detailed in this proposal template, suggesting that offerors must develop and submit their own cost estimates based on the deliverables and project scope outlined by ODH.
