SDI Cost Proposal
Provided below is SDI’s cost proposal to complete the District’s IT Strategic Plan update. SDI recognizes
that the budget for this project is $40,000, and we have made every effort to align our cost proposal with
the budget. However, we feel obligated to provide a realistic level of effort needed to complete a
comprehensive Plan.
Provided below is our estimate of the level of effort required to complete the District’s project as
presented in the RFP. SDI developed our level of effort based on our years of experience in completing
similar projects. All staff being proposed for this engagement will be billed at an all-inclusive hourly rate
of $185 (inclusive of all travel and related expenses). We estimate this project will require 512 hours to
complete, resulting in a cost of $94,720.
The following table provides a breakdown of the hours to complete each of the phases and tasks outlined
in our Detailed Scope of Work section.
Invoicing
SDI’s practice is to invoice clients at the beginning of each month for the prior month’s project activities.
Invoices will provide the number of hours worked by each SDI resource, along with a description of the
project activities worked on. Please note that SDI does not bill for consultant travel time.
