that were executed on public or university land.

plan. For Phase 3, Respondents should describe a high level framework and approach for allocating value
to Howard during implementation of approved ECRP.

establish the reasonableness of the proposed fee. The following information should be submitted as part
of the business proposal:

a) Respondents must provide estimated labor hours and total price breakdown for each sequential step

b) Respondents must provide fully loaded labor rates for each person proposed in the proposal;
c) Travel costs, if any, supported by a breakdown including origin, duration, frequency, and purpose;
and
d) Breakdown of other expenses such as printing, copying, other clerical services, etc.
