RHTP Evaluation Cost Proposal Form.xlsx

This is a cost proposal form for the State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services related to RFP #202601009 for the evaluation of Maine's Rural Health Transformation Program. The procurement spans a five-year period divided into three distinct phases: an initial period of performance from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2028; Renewal Period #1 from June 1, 2028 through May 31, 2030; and Renewal Period #2 from June 1, 2030 through May 31, 2031. Bidders must provide comprehensive cost proposals for all services outlined in the RFP for each period, with separate budget schedules required for each phase of the contract.

The cost proposal form requires bidders to detail salaries by position and hourly rates, subcontractor and consultant costs, travel expenses in accordance with Maine's state travel policies, and supplies. Bidders must complete designated white spaces on the budget forms while ensuring existing formulas calculate correctly, with caution advised when adding additional line items. The form includes a section for ad-hoc work hourly rates by position, though these rates are explicitly noted as not being used or considered during the evaluation process. All cost information must be submitted on the structured schedules provided, with totals automatically calculated for each renewal period and the overall five-year procurement period.
