INSTRUCTIONS

General: Each offeror is to provide a cost/price 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 included in the cost/price proposal. This is a required flow down requirement to subcontractors, 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 criteria in FAR 15.404-1 as determined appropriate by the Contracting Officer.

Section B Spreadsheet: The Section B is used as a basis for the proposed formal Section B. Section B shall be submitted in an Excel readable format and totaled.

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: FTE = full time equivalent/Productive Labor Hours. Each offeror is to bid on the core labor categories and number of billable productive hours contained in the spreadsheet. The number of hours in are estimates for evaluation and contract not-to-exceed ceiling purposes. These core categories and productive hours are NOT to be changed by the offerors in the spreadsheets. DO NOT change the hours shown in Column M of the LABOR - COST DETAIL spreadsheet.

NOTE 2: 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 B 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 C. If the particular individual category is to be performed jointly by more than one entity (i.e. the prime and a sub or subs), the offeror will be required to insert additional row(s) under the labor category and to allocate the Col M hours for the individual category to be performed among the prime and subs . After this allocation, the total of the original and inserted rows under the individual category in Col M shall total to the number of hours provided in Column M by the Govt 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 unemployment, state unemployment, workman's compensation, and non-statutory fringe benefits (i.e. 401K, vacations, holidays, etc), overhead, G&A, and fee. For proprietary reasons, subcontractors may provide this information directly to the Contracting Officer if the subcontractor chooses not to disclose this information to the offeror. However the amounts must agree with the total amounts proposed by the prime contractor.

NOTE 4: Additional entry cells at the top have been made available since different labor categories may have differing fringe and overhead rates applied to them. Apply fringe/overhead to prime offeror derived rates inclusive of statutory (i.e. FICA, FUTA, SUTA, Workman's Comp) and non-statutory (i.e. health insurance, 401K, etc, vacations, holidays, etc). A sample Fringe-OH spreadsheet has been provided as an example for fringe/overhead. In this example fringe and overhead are combined into a single rate. However, it is recognized that some offeror accounting systems apply fringe and overhead separately. In this case the offeror, should have separate columns for fringe and overhead to accommodate its accounting and estimating system as discussed in the general note above.

NOTE 5: Please enter the prime offeror or 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 entered for prime contractor performed rate categories is as follows: rate = prime base labor rate + applied prime fringe + applied prime overhead. If the labor category is performed by a subcontractor, the rate entered in this column 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).

ODC - Cost Detail Spreadsheet:

NOTE 6: Enter proposed ODC amounts. Add any material handling and/or G&A as appropriate and enter in appropriate CLINs totals in Section B. For CLIN00018 add labor an ODC amounts and enter in CLIN 0018.
