ORGANIZATION'S MAIN CONTACT INFORMATION

Proposed Rate Schedule

For each person who would be providing technical assistance services, provide their name, labor category from the provided list of HUD-approved labor categories, their designation as an employee of the consultant or a subcontractor, email address, and the “fully loaded” hourly billing rate. The fully loaded rate should include direct labor costs and all applicable indirect labor costs (such as fringe benefits, overhead, and G&A) but not travel, which is paid separately at the government rate. The fully loaded rate may not include a fee or profit and must be consistent with rates charged to other government and non-government clients for comparable work. Attach additional sheets if necessary.

PART 2 - BILLING RATE INFORMATION | Proposed Rate Schedule (continued)

Recent Rate History

As documented in federal cost principles, it is discriminatory against the government if compensation costs are more than those being paid for similar non-government work under comparable circumstances. As such, TDA is required by HUD to “obtain evidence that its subcontractors and consultants have a recent history and pattern of actually having been paid at the proposed rate (excluding fee or profit) by their clients (including for-profit organizations, nonprofit organizations, and governments) and that these rates are consistent with the best (lowest) customary rates that were negotiated by their clients.” To comply with this requirement, provide the following information on the lowest rates charged during the previous 12 months. Provide at least three examples including at least one for each person listed above that would be providing technical assistance services. Attach additional sheets, if necessary.

For each person who would be providing technical assistance services, include a resume as Attachment B. Resumes should highlight work relevant to the scope of work described in TDA’s RFQ. Include a summary paragraph at the beginning of each resume that reflects the individual’s experience as a technical assistance provider. The paragraph should include information sufficient for readers to gain a broad sense of the person’s skills, experience, and knowledge. Please be sure to state the number of years of experience in housing and community development, experience providing technical assistance services, and whether the person has passed the HOME Certified Specialist – Regulations exam.

The undersigned hereby certifies that he/she is the duly authorized representative and has the authority to submit this application on behalf of the consultant. The undersigned further certifies that the information included in this application and in any attachments in support hereof is true, correct, and complete to the best of his/her knowledge and belief. The undersigned authorizes TDA to contact the clients referenced herein to obtain performance information for the purpose of evaluating this application.
