Microsoft_Word_Document.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 workbook 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 fairness, reasonableness, based on the cost/price analysis, and cost realism analysis (on cost CLINS) criteria in FAR 15.404-1.

Overall Instructions

· The worksheets are designed to automatically compute and populate other cells in the Excel workbook.

· The worksheet tabs shaded green have inputs required on that worksheet.

· Type the appropriate name of the Prime Contractor/Subcontractor/Division in Cell H14, the street address in Cell H15, and the city, state, and zip code in Cell H16 on the Instructions worksheet of the Price Model Workbook. It will carry through the remaining worksheets.

· Please enter the requested data in the green shaded areas on the Indirect Rate Summary worksheet. This data pulls over to the labor detail worksheet.

· Please enter the requested data in the green shaded areas on the Direct Labor Rate Schedule, which includes the proposed labor rates, the cost basis for the rate proposed and the escalation rate used. The direct rate information feeds into the Labor Detail worksheet.

· Please enter the requested data in the green shaded areas on the Labor Cost Detail worksheet, which includes which entity will be performing the work (columns D and E). Column L will only need inputs if the prime offeror is inputting a subcontractor’s fully burdened labor rate into that column.

· Please enter the requested data in the green shaded areas on the ODC Cost Detail worksheet. For the purposes of proposal, the Government has input normalized values for the ODCs. These numbers are to be used. The offerors may add any burden and/or G&A as appropriate. Since these are estimated amounts that may or may not occur, no fixed fee will be allowed on the ODCs.

Section B Worksheet

The Section B worksheet imports data from the Cost Summary, Labor Cost Detail, and ODC Cost Detail worksheets and is used as a basis for the proposed formal Section B and does not require vendor inputs.

Cost Summary Worksheet

This worksheet is for Government analysis purposes. It is populated from the Labor Cost Detail and ODC Cost Detail worksheets and does not require vendor inputs.

Indirect Rate Summary Worksheet

Please provide the indirect rates by year. The rates will automatically populate to the Labor Detail Worksheet. Direct labor and fringe will be evaluated to determine acceptable total compensation.

Direct Labor Rate Schedule Worksheet

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

NOTE 1: Indicate the location where the Labor Category will perform.

NOTE 2: Indicate the type of labor (e.g. Exempt/Professional, Non-Exempt, SCA/CBA, etc).

Labor Cost Detail Worksheet

Most data in this sheet will automatically populate from other sheets in the workbook and automatically calculate. Enter the requested data in the green shaded cells. It may be necessary for each offeror to revise the number of rows, columns, and/or formulas to reflect 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. For specific instructions, see the Notes that follow.

NOTE 1: Column A is the location where the Labor Category will perform.

NOTE 2: Column B is the type of labor (e.g. Exempt/Professional, Non-Exempt, SCA/CBA, etc).

NOTE 3: Column C of the Labor Cost Detail worksheet are the labor categories for this action.

NOTE 4: During contract performance these categories may be performed by the prime contractor and/or other divisions or subcontractors. The offeror is to enter a ‘P’ in column D if the effort is to be performed by the prime contractor and a ‘S’ if performed by another division or subcontractor.

NOTE 5: Enter the name of the division or subcontractor in column 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 FTEs in column F and the hours in columns G and H for the individual category in column C for 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 6: For the purposes of this solicitation, the hours worked under a FTE shall consist of the hours worked by an individual employee and not multiple employees (i.e. 1 FTE = 1 employee). One FTE shall not be split among two or more employees.

NOTE 7: The Total Productive Hours are maximum productive hours to be used on this contract IAW the tasks outlined in the RFP. The Total Productive Hours are provided by the Government, and the FTE numbers are calculated based on the total productive hours divided by the Annual Productive Hours of 1,920. Total Productive Hours are the total hours in a work year less any days not actually worked (i.e. not including holidays, sick days, vacations, etc.). For the purposes of this solicitation please assume a 40 hour work week.

NOTE 8: The hourly base pay rate copies over from the Direct Labor Rate Schedule. The base labor rate is the rate actual paid to the employee EXCLUSIVE of social security, federal unemployment, state unemployment, workman's compensation, 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. Escalation on wages in out years for Service Contract Act positions is unallowable except where the Collective Bargaining Agreement and/or Wage Determinations indicate otherwise.

NOTE 9: Fringe Rate will carry over from the Indirect Rate Summary.

Fringe shall include social security, federal unemployment, state unemployment, workman's compensation, and non-statutory fringe benefits (i.e. 401K, vacations, holidays, etc).

NOTE 10: The rate will carry over from the Indirect Rate Summary.

NOTE 11: 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 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 column k 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).

NOTE 12: The rate will carry over from the Indirect Rate Summary.

ODC Cost Detail Worksheet

NOTE 13: Enter the requested data in the green shaded cells. An estimated normalized amount for Other Direct Costs (ODCs) has been specified for proposal purposes for all periods. 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 authorized.
