RFP Transit Consultant_Hourly_Rate_Form.xlsx

The document is an Excel-based Hourly Rate Form for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) with the reference number MDOTBOSTONFEDFY19, specifically for transit consulting services. The RFP includes a comprehensive hourly rate structure spanning seven years, with rates to be provided for each year of the potential contract period. The solicitation follows the Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) methodology mandated by the Brooks Act, which means consultant selection is based on demonstrated competence and qualifications rather than price.

The cost proposal is designed to be fully loaded, encompassing all direct and indirect costs associated with contract performance, including direct expenses, payroll, supplies, overhead, personnel time allocation, travel, and profit. Notably, while hourly rates are requested, the procurement process explicitly states that price quotations are not a consideration in the selection process and are provided solely for informational purposes. The form appears structured to capture detailed staffing and cost information across multiple staff functions, with space for specifying hourly rates for each contract year.
