Cost/Price Proposal Clause Samples
Cost/Price Proposal. The Offeror shall submit a cost/price proposal with supporting information for each cost element consistent with Offeror's disclosed estimating system practices. The breakdown should include such elements as direct labor, materials, travel and indirect costs. The Offeror shall provide exhibits as necessary to substantiate each direct labor rate and indirect cost element. For any rates proposed that are not DCAA reviewed/approved, the Offeror shall provide complete documentation and the rationale for their use at time of proposal submission. The Offeror shall use the cost proposal spreadsheet format attached to this RFP, Attachment J-4, for the excel version of the submitted cost proposal. Each subcontractor may submit their own proposal utilizing the RFP Attachment J-4 template if the total proposed costs exceed the certified cost or pricing threshold (currently $2,000,000). Those subcontractors proposing $2,000,000+ may submit their complete, unsanitized proposal directly to the Government via electronic means only to ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. If the subcontractor is submitting their unsanitized proposal directly to the Government, the prime Offeror need only to include those hours, rates, and values necessary to complete the prime Offeror’s proposal. Each prime Offeror is solely responsible for ensuring their chosen subcontractors exceeding the certified cost or pricing threshold, in accordance with FAR 15.403-4, submit their unsanitized proposal by the proposal due date specified on the Standard Form (SF) and here in Section L. In this procurement, the Government will perform a cost realism analysis of each Offeror’s proposed costs. The burden of cost credibility rests with the Offeror to demonstrate the realism of its proposed costs; as such, the Offeror must submit substantiating cost data for every cost element it proposes (e.g., direct labor, fringe rate, overhead rate, G&A rate, subcontract costs, etc.). Providing insufficient information to substantiate the realism of an Offeror’s proposed costs may result in a cost adjustment and/or the offer may no longer be considered for award. The Offeror’s proposal should represent its best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency between promised performance – i.e., the technical or management proposals and the identified personnel resources – and the proposed cost/price must be explained in the proposal. For example, if the intended use of new and innovative techniques is the basis fo...
Cost/Price Proposal. The Offeror shall submit a cost/price proposal with supporting information for each cost element consistent with Offeror's disclosed estimating system practices. The breakdown should include such elements as direct labor, materials, travel and indirect costs. The Offeror shall provide exhibits as necessary to substantiate each direct labor rate and indirect cost element. Should rates be used in the proposal, which are not DCAA reviewed/approved, the Offeror shall provide complete documentation and the rationale for their use at time of proposal submission. The Offeror shall use the cost proposal spreadsheet format attached to this RFP for the excel version of the submitted cost proposal.
Cost/Price Proposal. Offerors shall provide a Cost/Price proposal to successfully complete the requirements of the PWS and the offeror’s technical approach. Offerors shall fully complete the Bid Schedule at Attachment 3. So that the Government can conduct a complete cost realism analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(d), offerors shall also provide a cross-walk in their Cost/Price proposal that maps the proposed costs to the PWS and the offeror’s technical approach using the format in Attachment 4 – WBS Spreadsheet. Offerors do not have to use Attachment
Cost/Price Proposal. (Volume III)
(1) An important prerequisite for the award of the contract is that the offeror must have an accounting system that is capable of accurately collecting, segregating and recording costs by contract. Also, though the proposal is not required to be cost certified, it must be in sufficient detail to allow direct and indirect rate verification and audit of selected costs by the cognizant Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)
Cost/Price Proposal. Provide a cost/price proposal in accordance with the PWS requirements and the offeror’s technical approach. MANDATORY SOLICITATION REQUIREMENT: Assume a funding limitation of no greater than $30 million annually. Complete the Bid Schedule in Attachment 7. This information will be used by the Government to conduct cost realism analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(d). Offerors do not have to use Attachment 8, but their cost proposal must be organized in the same manner as Attachment 8. The offeror’s cost proposal must contain labor categories, labor hours per category, labor rates for the prime contractor and each subcontractor (over $250K estimated billing), material, travel, equipment, and other direct costs required to perform the work included in the PWS utilizing the proposed technical approach. A break-out of travel, material, equipment, other direct costs, labor categories descriptions and qualifications, and labor rates must be identified at the lowest level possible. Propose a fixed price per ton for transportation and disposal (T&D) for each of the soil remediation areas in Tab B. The unit prices will be fixed for the duration of the contract.

Offeror shall provide the basis of estimate, including explanation and rationale sufficient to support a determination of reasonableness. This information shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel Format with working formulas, rounded to the nearest dollar and formatted to trace cost flow.
2) Proposals shall be submitted electronically no later than 10:00 AM EST on 26 Oct 2020 via email to: ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇.▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ Offerors shall comply with the detailed instructions for the format and content of the proposals; proposals that do not comply may be considered unacceptable and may render the proposal ineligible for award.
