FINAL_Attachment_C-1_Cost_Proposal_Worksheet.xls

This is a Cost Proposal Worksheet attachment for a Request for Proposals issued by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) to develop coherent guidance and aligned COMPASS professional learning supporting preschool through grade three mathematics instruction. The project aims to improve student outcomes in mathematics aligned with the Minnesota 2022 Academic Standards in Mathematics and reduce racial and economic gaps in mathematics achievement for Minnesota students. The contract term spans from execution through September 30, 2027, divided into two budget periods: Year 1 from contract execution through June 30, 2027, and Year 2 from July 1, 2027 through September 30, 2027. Proposals must be submitted through the eSUPPLIER PORTAL within SWIFT, with the SWIFT helpdesk available at 651-201-8100 option #1 for technical assistance.

The cost proposal worksheet requires bidders to submit itemized pricing broken into two annual budget periods with staff labor costs calculated by position, estimated hours, and maximum hourly rates, plus separate line items for other costs and proposed additional tasks or activities. The template includes subtotals for each budget period and a grand total across the contract performance period. Bidders are instructed to insert additional staffing and cost lines as needed and verify all formulas for accuracy prior to submission. No specific budget ceiling, funding source, or set-asides are identified in this worksheet template.
