About this file

This is a Travel Expense Reimbursement Exhibit from RFP 25-10 Labor Consultant for the State of California. The exhibit establishes the Court's reimbursement policy for travel-related expenses incurred by contractors effective January 1, 2025. All travel expenses must be incurred in connection with work specified in the agreement, approved in advance by the Court, and occur more than 50 miles from the contractor's headquarters to be eligible for lodging and meal reimbursement. The policy requires receipts for all expenses and aligns lodging reimbursement rates with federal GSA standard rates, which vary by California county and may fluctuate monthly throughout the fiscal year.

Lodging reimbursement rates for in-state travel range from $110 per night for most counties to $273 per night for Santa Monica, with rates varying by county and month to reflect seasonal fluctuations. Meal and incidental expense reimbursement is based on travel duration, with daily maximums ranging from $51 for partial-day or first and last days of travel to $68 for full travel days, and breakdown allowances for breakfast ($16), lunch ($19), dinner ($28), and incidentals ($5). Transportation reimbursement covers the actual cost of the lowest available ticket for air, rail, bus, or rental car travel, as well as cab fare, parking, and tolls using the most economical option. Incidental expenses are capped at $5 per day and are only reimbursable for trips exceeding 24 hours, while meal reimbursement for one-day trips is considered taxable income unless an overnight stay is included.
