Exhibit F

This Cost Proposal Matrix document is an exhibit for Design-Build Services for Project No. J-396-DB "Campus Infrastructure, Phase II" at Clayton State University in Morrow, Georgia. The matrix provides a standardized cost allocation guide for bidders preparing their proposals, identifying specific line items across seven major cost categories: Site Supervision & Management, Site Office Expense, Safety & Security, Cleaning, General Equipment, Bonds & Insurance, and Miscellaneous. The document designates where costs should be allocated among Construction Fee, General Conditions, and Cost of Work By Others columns, with some items marked as "NA," "Incl." (included), or pre-populated with specific amounts. The Safety Engineer line item shows a $30,000 allocation under General Conditions, and Builders Risk Insurance indicates a projected fee of $1,231,000 based on a $46 million Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).

The matrix serves as a template to ensure consistent cost proposal formatting across all bidders and to establish the owner's expectations for cost allocation methodology. Most line items are marked with "X" to indicate where costs should be documented, while some items are excluded from the bid or included within other categories. The document establishes clear parameters for overhead, equipment, insurance, bonding, and miscellaneous project costs, enabling Clayton State University to effectively compare and evaluate competing design-build proposals on a standardized basis.
