MICRO ECONOMIC COST EVALUATION MATRIX

The following sets forth the process to be utilized for price evaluation under this RFP. For ease of reference, the Government has provided an example utilizing the following illustrative ceiling daily rates.

Locally-hired national personnel or other non-U.S. expatriate salaries should be based on USAID local compensation plans. However, for the purpose of this price evaluation, labor costs of locally-hired national personnel will be ignored.”

CALCULATIONS

Step 1: The Government will calculate an average ceiling daily rate for U.S. expatriate ceiling daily rates proposed for Years 1-7.

For the purpose of calculating an average U.S. expatriate ceiling daily rate for each labor category grouping for Years 1-7, the proposed ceiling daily rate for the Senior Level in each category grouping will count as 70% of the average and the proposed ceiling daily rate for the Mid Level and the Junior Level in each category grouping will count as 15% of the average. For instance, using the sample ceiling daily rates shown above, the average U.S. expatriate ceiling daily rate for Year 1 for the first labor category grouping will be calculated as follows [($750 * 0.70) + ($550 * 0.15) + ($250 * 0.15)] = $645.00

AVERAGE U.S. EXPATRIATE CEILING DAILY RATES:

Labor Category

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7

#1 $645.00 $645.00 $645.00 $670.00 $680.00 $690.75 $700.00 #2 $602.50 $602.50 $602.50 $620.50 $630.50 $642.75 $659.75 #3 $602.50 $602.50 $602.50 $620.50 $630.50 $642.75 $659.75 #4 $510.00 $510.00 $510.00 $526.50 $537.25 $551.00 $568.00 #5 $417.50 $417.50 $417.50 $442.50 $454.75 $467.00 $477.75 $555.50 $555.50 $555.50 $576.00 $586.60 $598.85 $613.05

CALCULATED AVERAGE CEILING DAILY RATE =Year 1 $555.50 Year 2 $555.50 Year 3 $555.50 Year 4 $576.00 Year 5 $586.60 Year 6 $598.85 Year 7 $613.05 OVERALL AVERAGE: $577.29 [USFDR IN Step 2]

Step 2: The Government will enter the overall calculated average for the U.S. expatriate ceiling daily rates (USFDR) and the contractor’s proposed provisional indirect cost rate to be applied to ODCs into the cost evaluation matrix Budget below. This computation will result in the contractor’s proposed price for evaluation purposes.

COST EVALUATION MATRIX BUDGET

[The figures in “ “ are plug-in figures and will be used for evaluation purposes. Each Offeror’s proposed / calculated prices will be incorporated into the budget below where indicated.]

Labor:

A. “4,000 person-days” * USFDR = $ (Note: include home office support if charged directly to the project)

Other Direct Costs:

B. Offeror Travel, Transportation & Per Diem = “$250,000” C. Subcontractor Travel, Transportation & Per Diem = “$125,000” D. Offeror Allowances = “$50,000” E. Subcontractor Allowances = “$25,000” F. Offeror Miscellaneous ODCs = “$200,000” G. Subcontractor Miscellaneous ODCs = “$100,000” H. Non-Expendable Equipment and Commodities = “$50,000”

Indirect Costs [On Other Direct Costs]:

I. Indirect Costs on Line Item A Above = $ J. Indirect Costs on Line Item B Above = $ K. Indirect Costs on Line Item C Above = $ L. Indirect Costs on Line Item D Above = $ M. Indirect Costs on Line Item E Above = $ N. Indirect Costs on Line Item F Above = $ O. Indirect Costs on Line Item G Above = $ P. Indirect Costs on Line Item H Above = $ Q. Fee =$

[Note: FOR EVAULATION PURPOSES ONLY. The figures are not meant as a guide. USAID by policy imposes a Maximum Unburdened Rate of $635.76. The prime Offeror’s applicable indirect costs allocated to these other direct costs line items shall be used. The proposed applicable indirect costs allocated to these other direct costs line items should be in accordance with the contractor’s usual accounting procedures, consistent with FAR Part 31, and Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreements (NICRA).]
