COST SHEET - Cover Memorandum RFP 124065 O5 – ONE RED Ag Data Bank and Grants Program

Cost Sheet Memorandum: Incite AgPro LLC (“incite.ag”) submits the enclosed Cost Sheet in alignment with Solicitation 124065 O5 and the technical strategy detailed in this proposal. The proposed blended labor rate of $150 per hour across Deliverables 1–3 reflects a disciplined, enterprise-scale execution model designed to deliver a secure, production-ready CI Data Bank and Grant Platform within clearly defined not-to-exceed limits. This is done in an ultra-cost effective manner that emphasizes the current multi-million dollar investment in incite.ag’s CI scoring and data capture software infrastructure

This cost structure is comprehensive and execution-focused. It covers system architecture, secure cloud deployment, API integration with Approved Service Providers, deterministic CI score validation, payment automation, cybersecurity controls, QAPP conformity, onboarding workflows, and multi-year program support.

Detailed subcategory hours and cost drivers are provided in the accompanying itemized spreadsheet for full transparency.

Pass-through software licenses are separately identified and proportionally allocated to support hardened infrastructure, analytics, and payment integrations required for stable long-term operations.

Sean Kelly, CTO of incite.ag, serves as executive technical contact and will oversee architecture, infrastructure security, CI model implementation, and integration strategy. The proposed system leverages zero-trust principles, managed identities, audit logging, and CI/CD controls consistent with the Enterprise Technology Review and Technical Architecture materials submitted herein.

This proposal reflects a thoughtful, scalable, and proven approach grounded in commercial CI program delivery. Incite.ag is confident in its ability to execute efficiently, securely, and in a manner that meets and exceeds NDWEE’s objectives.
