RFQ-ITS_26-0063_Exhibit_C_-_Cost_Worksheet.xlsx

This is a Cost Worksheet (Exhibit C) for a Request for Quote issued by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for Information Technology Services, specifically RFQ-ITS 26-0063 Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Dashboard. The RFQ seeks an enhanced Project Portfolio Management solution to be implemented within CAL FIRE's Project Management Office to track project progress, resources, and completion status using the existing Microsoft 365 environment, Microsoft Planner Pro, and Power BI dashboards. The solution must support financial tracking, resource assignment, schedule indicators, risk and issue identification, and executive-level dashboards for monitoring project health and portfolio performance. The RFQ deadline is August 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time.

The Cost Worksheet is structured with line items for one-time implementation costs and time-and-materials services, including: a Project Portfolio Management Solution (one-time cost), Implementation Services (time and materials), Post Go-Live Support (100 hours), Training Materials, and provision for unanticipated tasks not to exceed 10 percent of the total bid amount. An optional first-year renewal item for additional support hours or maintenance and operations is included. All cost fields in the worksheet are currently blank at $0.00, as this is a template for contractor pricing proposals. Contractors are permitted to modify the cost worksheet to detail all costs in their bid submission.
