Exhibit_F___Project_Cost_Matrix.xlsx

This document is a Cost Proposal Matrix for a construction project at an unnamed Georgia institution. The matrix serves as a guide for contractors to allocate costs across three cost categories: Construction Fee, General Conditions, and Cost of Work By Others. The project carries a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $46 million with a projected fee of $1,231,000. The cost allocation matrix encompasses seven major categories: Site Supervision & Management, Site Office Expense, Safety & Security, Cleaning, General Equipment, Bonds & Insurance, and Miscellaneous items. The matrix identifies where the owner expects specific cost items to be charged, with most line items marked as "X" in the Construction Fee column, indicating contractor responsibility for these expenses during project execution.

The matrix provides detailed line-item guidance for over 100 cost elements, ranging from personnel (project executives, managers, superintendents, engineers) to equipment, insurance, and operational expenses. Key cost allocations include Safety Engineer services budgeted at $30,000 under General Conditions and Builders Risk Insurance allocated at $1,231,000. Many items are marked as "NA" (not applicable), "Incl." (included in other line items), or reference other parties such as the Architect for payment responsibility. This standardized cost proposal format ensures transparent cost allocation and allows the contractor to prepare comprehensive bids while maintaining clarity regarding which party bears responsibility for specific project expenses.
