About this file

This is a Budget Template document issued by the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), Division of Community Programs, for state and local contract opportunities. The template is designed for organizations to submit detailed budget proposals for services or goods provided to CDHS programs, with instructions for completing expenditure categories including Personal Services, Supplies & Operating Expenses, Travel, Other Costs, and Contractual expenses. The template requires organizations to provide specific line-item descriptions rather than broad categorical groupings, with budget periods typically spanning one year (for example, July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025). All budget calculations are automated within the spreadsheet, with totals automatically summarized on a one-page summary tab. Upon completion, bidders must save the budget as Adobe PDF for both the detailed data entry tab and the summary tab, combining them into a single document.

The budget template accommodates various funding structures, including indirect costs calculated at a standard 15 percent rate or organization-specific federally negotiated rates. Personal Services expenses require submission of position titles, gross earnings, fringe benefits, and percentage of time allocated to the specific program or project. All contractual services to third-party organizations must include the legal entity name, description of services or goods, and justification when applicable. The template includes an example budget demonstrating proper formatting and line-item specification, such as travel expenses with specific trip purposes and quantities, and supplies broken down into discrete categories with unit costs. Organizations must completely fill out their contact information, the relevant CDHS program contact details, remittance address, and other required administrative information, with the CDHS contact information provided for the MindSource program at cdhs_mindsource@state.co.us. The placeholder purchase order number is "PO 2026" and may remain blank until contract execution is finalized.
