Exhibit F _ Project Cost Matrix.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Matrix for Project No. J-472, Utilities Upgrades Phase 1, at Dalton State College in Dalton, Georgia, prepared as part of a design-build procurement process. The matrix serves as a guide for bidders to allocate costs across specific categories in their cost proposals. The document outlines where the Owner desires costs to be assigned, directing bidders on the proper structure of their financial submissions for the utilities infrastructure upgrade project.

The matrix categorizes allowable cost allocations across six primary sections: Site Supervision & Management, Site Office Expense, Safety & Security, Cleaning, General Equipment, and Bonds & Insurance, with a seventh section addressing miscellaneous costs. Line items indicate whether costs should be included in the Construction Fee, General Conditions, or as Cost of Work By Others. Notable allocations include a $30,000 Safety Engineer cost under General Conditions and a projected $1,231,000 fee based on a $46 Million Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Many line items are marked as "Incl." (included in other categories), "NA" (not applicable), or contain $0 values, indicating either consolidated billing, inapplicable expenses for this specific project, or items the Owner does not wish to see itemized. This structure ensures consistency in proposal evaluation and helps maintain cost control throughout the project execution.
