NDERFP250826 Cost Sheet.xlsx

This is a cost sheet template for a Request for Proposal issued by the Nebraska Department of Education, Office of Coordinated Student Support Services, seeking statewide evaluation services for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers and Expanded Learning Opportunity Grant Programs. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive evaluation services across approximately 150 Nebraska educational sites, including development of a web-based tool for grant administration, data collection and analysis, external site observations, survey administration, and technical assistance. The proposal deadline is November 4th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with an anticipated contract award date of December 29th, 2025, and a vendor start date of January 2nd, 2026. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods, creating a potential five-year engagement.

The cost sheet provided is a blank template requiring bidders to develop their own pricing structure across five budget categories: Project Planning and Management, Data Collection, Data Analysis, Data Reporting, Recommendations, Operating System maintenance, Training and Support, and Personnel, with provisions for other associated costs and indirect expenses. Pricing is required to remain fixed for the first two years, with potential increases of up to 5% in subsequent years subject to Nebraska Department of Education approval. The project involves approximately $6.5 million in federal grant funding supporting the 150 participating educational sites, with the contract expected to serve students from low-income families and schools with specific demographic characteristics. No specific budget ceiling or incumbent vendor information is provided, though the scope's complexity and technological requirements suggest the project will require a vendor with substantial evaluation, data management, and technical capabilities.
