Microsoft_Word_Document1.docx General: Each offeror is to provide a cost/price proposal and accompanying narrative as part of their proposal in response to the solicitation. FAR 15.403-5(b) allows the contracting officer to specify the format of cost or pricing data or data other than certified cost or pricing data. The completed enclosed spreadsheets shall be part of the cost/price proposal. This is a required flow down requirement, and therefore shall be submitted for the prime offeror AND for any and all divisions and subcontractors proposed to perform effort in response to this solicitation. The information will be evaluated for acceptability, fairness, and reasonableness based on the cost/price analysis and cost realism analysis criteria in FAR 15.404-1. Please enter the requested data in the light blue shaded areas in the Labor-Cost Detail spreadsheets and in the Supporting Labor Detail spreadsheets. The spreadsheets are designed to automatically compute and populate other cells in the Excel spreadsheets and workbooks.

Section B Spreadsheet: Please enter the requested data in the light blue shaded areas of this worksheet. This section B should correspond with the official Section B in the solicitation.

Labor - Cost Detail Spreadsheet:

General: Enter the requested data in the blue shaded cells. It may be necessary for each offeror to revise the number of rows, columns, and/or formulas to reflect differences or nuances in the offeror's accounting and estimating systems. However, it is requested that the general format be maintained as much as possible for cost/price analysis and contract administration purposes.

NOTE 1: Offeror is to input their proposed labor categories and number of productive hours in the spreadsheet for the transition in period.

NOTE 2: Productive hours are the total hours in a work year less any paid or unpaid leave for holidays, sick days, vacations, etc. Productive hours are hours actually worked and billed to a particular job or Government contract. Do not modify the hours in this column. These are estimated hours that may or may not be ordered by the Government.

Column A of the Labor- Detail Spreadsheets contains several labor categories. During contract performance these categories ostensibly may be performed by the prime contractor and/or other divisions or subcontractors. The offeror is to enter a P in Col D if the effort is to be performed by the prime contractor, and a S if performed by another division or subcontractor. Enter the name of the division or contractor in Col E. If the particular individual category is to be performed by more than one entity, the offeror will be required to insert additional row(s) under the labor category and to allocate the Col C hours for the individual category among the Col C cells in the original and inserted rows to reflect the proposed performance during the contract. After this allocation, the total of the original and inserted rows under the individual category shall total to the number of hours provided by the Government for the respective labor category.

NOTE 3: Please enter the base labor rate for the labor categories listed. The base labor rate is the rate actual paid to the employee EXCLUSIVE of social security, federal uemployment, state unemployment, workman's compensation, and non-statutory fringe benefits (i.e. 401K, vacations, holidays, etc), overhead, G&A, and fee. For proprietary reason, subcontractors may provide this information directly to the Contracting Officer if the subcontractor chooses not to disclose this information to the offeror.

NOTE 4: Apply fringe to prime offeror derived rates. "Sample Fringe Worksheet" provides a sample to be used to compute fringe. Provide a schedule and describe all elements included in fringe benefit rate. See attached sample fringe worksheet. Fringe shall include social security, federal unemployment, state unemployment, workman's compensation, and non-statutory fringe benefits (i.e. 401K, vacations, holidays, etc).

NOTE 5: Apply overhead (OH) to prime offeror derived rates. "Sample OH Worksheet" provides a sample to be used to compute OH. Provide a schedule and describe all elements included in OH rate. See attached sample OH worksheet. Extra boxes have been inputted at the top of the column for different OH rates (i.e. on site, off site, etc.).

NOTE 6: This field will automatically calculate the prime hourly burdened rate before the application of G&A and fee, if the prime is proposing the use of a subcontractor, please enter the subcontractor billing rate (if performed by a subcontractor) BEFORE application of prime offeror general and administrative (G&A) expense and fixed fee. Therefore, the rate calculated for prime contractor performed rate categories is as follows: rate = prime base labor rate + prime fringe + prime overhead. If the labor category is performed by a subcontractor, the rate entered in Col L is as follows: Rate = sub base rate +sub fringe + sub overhead + sub G&A + sub fee (i.e. subcontractor loaded rate EXCEPT for prime G&A and fee).

Direct Labor Rate Schedule – Supporting direct labor rate worksheet. Offeror should enter all of the corresponding labor categories proposed in the labor cost detail worksheets proposed on a cost basis. For cost realism purposes, prime should indicate their basis of the proposed rates and provide documentation to substantiate the rates.

Defense Base Act (DBA) Insurance and other applicable allowances: Offerors must address these costs, based upon their normal business practice, and include them in addition to the normalized ODCs and/or labor. If these costs are normally included in ODCs, offerors are to show this in their schedule of ODCs. As indicted above, if these costs are part of labor, an additional column may be inserted in the “Labor Cost Detail” worksheet

ODC - Cost Detail Spreadsheet:

NOTE 7: A contract normalized amount for travel/ODCs has been specified for proposal purposes. Each offeror is to include this amount in their proposal. Any material handling and/or G&A is to be applied as appropriate. Since this is an estimated amount that may or may not occur, no fixed fee will be proposed..

Indirect Rate Summary Spreadsheet: Please provide the indirect rates by year, and proposed percentage of performance by labor hour for the prime offeror and each division or subcontractor proposed to perform effort on this solicitation. For proprietary reasons, subcontractors may submit the information in the requested format directly to the Contracting Officer. This information is necessary for evaluation purposes and MUST be supplied for the offeror, other divisions, and subcontractors for the offeror's proposal to be considered complete and adequate.

Sample Fringe/Overhead Spreadsheet: This spreadsheet shows a generally accepted format for fringe benefit and/or overhead pool/base/rate calculations. Fringe benefit and overhead pool, base, and rate calculations are required as part of the offeror's cost/price proposal. The fringe and overhead rates may be calculated together or separately depending on the contactor/subcontractor's accounting system. Please provide a similar schedule for fringe and overhead for each FY for the offeror and each division or subcontractor. Describe as necessary in the cost/price narrative. Indicate if the rates are based on a forward pricing rate agreement (FPRA) or other signed rate agreement with DCAA and/or DCMA. Subcontractor data may be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer for proprietary reasons.

Sample G&A Spreadsheet: This spreadsheet shows a generally accepted format for G&A pool/base/rate calculations. G&A pool, base, and rate calculations are required as part of the offeror's cost/price proposal. Please provide a similar schedule for G&A for each FY for the offeror and each division or subcontractor. Describe as necessary in the cost/price narrative. Please indicate if the G&A rates are based on a forward pricing rate agreement (FPRA) or other signed rate agreement with DCAA and/or DCMA. Subcontractor data may be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer for proprietary reasons.
