This is a cost buildup workbook template for proposals submitted to DARPA's Liquid Surge Disruption Opportunity under solicitation DARPA-PA-25-07-05. The template is designed for fixed-price, payable-milestone Other Transactions for Prototype Agreements with a two-phase structure: Phase 1 (Base) spanning 9 months and Phase 2 (Option) spanning an additional 9 months, totaling 18 months. The workbook requires proposers to provide fully-burdened cost estimates broken down by four milestones in Phase 1 (at months 1, 3, 6, and 9) and three milestones in Phase 2 (at months 12, 15, and 18), with payments made only in the amounts specified in Attachment 3 of the agreement.

Cost elements must include direct labor (with actual hours and rates—not percent level of effort calculations), subcontractor and consultant costs, travel, and other direct costs (ODCs), all fully burdened with applicable indirect costs. Proposers, including universities and institutions of higher education, must list principal investigators and key personnel and provide cost justification in Volume 2 of their price proposal. Phase 1 milestones focus on establishing an experimental rig for studying shock-induced wave propagation in fluids, validating against kinetic theory simulations, and developing prototype wave diagnostic hardware and computational prediction tools. Phase 2 milestones extend the experimental approach to higher shock intensities and broader parameter ranges while demonstrating validation and prediction accuracy across specified wave Mach numbers, base pressures, density, and salinity ranges. All milestone deliverables require data packages and technical reports.

	NOTES/INSTRUCTIONS:
	1. The milestone due dates are stipulated in the Disruption Opportunity, and Attachment 1 Task Description Document and Attachment 3 Schedule of Milestones and Payments of the DO SAMPLE OT. The milestone amounts will be automatically populated from the sums in the "Milestone [X] Total" at the bottom of this sheet.
	2. Rows can be added to reflect labor categories, subcontractors/consultants, and additional ODCs, as necessary. However, none of the fields currently in the template should be removed, to include formulas.

Proposers are prohibited from using percent level of effort (LOE) calculations. Proposers are reminded that the resulting awards are Fixed-Price Payable Milestone Other Transactions for Prototype Agreements (meaning, payments are made solely in the amounts found in Attachment 3 of the Agreement).
	4. Cost elements above should be fully burdened, inclusive of all applicable indirect costs. Visibility into indirect rates/costs is not required.
