About this file

This is a sample cost proposal template for construction engineering and inspection contracts used by the County of Tuolumne in California for on-call or as-needed architectural and engineering services. The template is designed to capture specific rates of compensation for named personnel and job classifications, including project managers, civil engineers, construction inspectors, claims engineers, land surveyors, and technicians. The document provides space for hourly billing rates across straight time, overtime at 1.5x, and overtime at 2x multipliers, with effective date ranges for rate changes spanning multiple years. Key personnel must be identified with an asterisk, and employees subject to prevailing wage requirements must be marked with two asterisks. The template includes sections for calculating indirect cost rates (fringe benefits and general and administrative costs) and markup limitations, with billing rates determined by multiplying the actual hourly rate by one plus the indirect cost rate and one plus the fee percentage.

The cost proposal template requires detailed itemization of other direct costs with quantities, unit costs, and total costs, along with documentation supporting the competitiveness and necessity of proposed items. Travel-related costs, mileage, and vehicle rental must comply with State Department of Personnel Administration rules and require pre-approval by the contracting agency. All costs must comply with Federal cost principles under 48 Code of Federal Regulations Part 31, Title 23 United States Code Section 112, and applicable state requirements. The document requires certification by an executive or financial officer at the level of Vice President or Chief Financial Officer, and all costs must be applied consistently and fairly across all contracts. Subconsultants must provide their own separate cost proposals, and the template format cannot be amended.
