Sheet 6: e. Contractual-Subawards

INSTRUCTIONS 1. The eligible entity must provide all costs related to subrecipients and contractors in the applicable boxes below. For each cost related to subrecipients and contractors, indicate the Project ID from the list of Specific Projects that the cost is associated with. Refer to 2 C.F.R. 200.331 for subrecipient and contractor determinations. 2. Subrecipients (sub-awardees): A subrecipient is a legal entity to which a subaward is made, who has performance measured against whether the objectives of the Federal program are met, is responsible for programmatic decision making, must adhere to applicable Federal program compliance requirements, and uses the Federal funds to carry out a program of the organization. All characteristics may not be present and judgment must be used to determine subrecipient vs. contractor status. 3. Contractors: A contractor is a legal entity contracted to provide goods and services within normal business operations, provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers, operates in a competitive environment, provides goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal program, and is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program. All characteristics may not be present and judgment must be used to determine subrecipient vs. contractor status. List all contractors supplying commercial supplies or services used to support the project. 4. In determining whether an agreement between a pass-through entity and another non-Federal entity casts the latter as a subrecipient or a contractor, the substance of the relationship is more important than the form of the agreement. Please refer to 2 CFR 200.331 Subrecipient and contractor determinations for more information on making a determination on subrecipient vs contractor. 5. Justification of Need: Proper budget justifications should explain how the costs associated with each line item relate to the implementation of the project as outlined in the proposal being submitted. Justifications should be concise and be written in such a way that someone not specifically familiar with the project can conceptually understand the rational, purpose and calculation of the anticipated costs identified. Explain why items are essential in relation to the aims of the project as well as meeting the goals of the project. Do not merely restate the proposed expenditure. The specific items in the subrecipient budget(s) should not be explained here. 6. Construction contracts/subawards: In the basis of cost and breakdown, provide information such as engineering estimates, fees, permits, prior construction, etc., and briefly justify its need as it applies to the project. 7. Subrecipient Cost Share/Matching: Please provide any cost share/matching that is being provided by a subrecipient. Contractors may not provide cost share. Any partial donation of goods or services by a contractor is considered a discount and is not allowable.

					Is Cost Share/Matching being provided?	Value ($)	Type (Cash or In Kind)	Source	If Federal source, which Program?
[State]-Capacity Grant Project-01	To be determined	The State Broadband Office certifies that it has a plan to meet the unserved and underserved location blank commitments, which is outlined in the DE Plan. It can do so for less than its total Digital Equity Capacity allocation and will thus have Digital Equity funds leftover to use for blank purposes. A sub-recipient(s) to be determined will carry out eligible non-deployment uses of internet access, as identified in the Digital Equity Capacity Grant NOFO, SectionX--specifically to provide devices to 1,000 participants. The subrecipient(s) will carry out these activities following the Subgrantee Selection process, which are outlined in the NOFO.	Based on the DE Plan, and as outlined in the NOFO, the cost of conducting the program is based on the cost of internet-capable devices (inclusive of software and accessories, according to an online search) and associated programmatic implementation costs (e.g., communications and marketing, distributions, etc.).	$2,000,000	No

[State]-Capacity Grant Project-02	Example: ABC Corporation	ABC Corporation will implement the Challenge Process outlined in the Initial Proposal. All final products will be owned by the State Broadband Office, not the consulting firm. The services are expected to be provided within three (3 months) of award in order for the State Broadband Office to begin the Subgrantee Selection Process.	ABC Corporation was selected following a competitive review process in line with the State Broadband Office procurement policy. The contract amount is and will be inclusive of staff, travel, supplies, and all other costs necessary to meet the goals of the contract. The basis of the cost is estimated by the contractor at approximately 1,250 hours at $400/hour.	$500,000

Sheet 7: f. Construction

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Construction for the purpose of budgeting, is defined as the construction of new buildings, completion of shell space in existing buildings, renovation or rehabilitation of existing buildings, and construction or development of real property infrastructure improvements (e.g., site preparation, utilities, streets, curbs, sidewalks, parking lots, other streetscaping improvements, etc.). 2. Any construction work that is performed by a contractor or subrecipient should be entered under e. Contractual-Subawards. Important reminder: An Eligible Entity may not undertake broadband deployment construction activities itself. It must engage in a competitive subgrant process for these activities, so any such activities must be classified under the Contractual-Subawards Tab. 3. List all proposed non-deployment construction being proposed to be undertaken directly by the eligible entity below, providing a basis of cost such as engineering estimates, prior construction, etc., and briefly justify its need as it applies to the project.

Sheet 8: g. Other

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Other direct costs are direct cost items required for the project which do not fit clearly into other categories. These direct costs must not be included in the indirect costs (for which the indirect rate is being applied for this project). Examples are: tuition, printing costs, etc. which can be directly charged to the project and are not duplicated in indirect costs (overhead costs). 2. Basis of cost are items such as contractor quotes, prior purchases of similar or like items, published price list, etc. 3. Contingency is that part of a budget estimate of future costs (typically of large IT projects or other items as approved by the Federal awarding agency) which is associated with possible events or conditions arising from causes the precise outcome of which is indeterminable at the time of estimate, and that experience shows will likely result, in aggregate, in additional costs for the approved activity or project. Amounts for major project scope changes, unforeseen risks, or extraordinary events may not be included. Amounts must be estimated using broadly-accepted cost estimating methodologies and accepted by the Federal awarding agency. Contingency costs are reserved until a demonstrated need is approved by the Grants Officer. Please refer to 2 CFR 200.433 for more information.
General Description	Cost	Basis of Cost	Justification of need
Example: Project Management Training for State Broadband Office Staff	$7,200	Catalog price (based on online search)	Project Management Training conducted by XYZ Corporation is requested to pay for three staff working full-time on the Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program (i.e., Grant Manager, State Broadband Office Director, and Procurement Specialist). The training will cover project management areas necessary for the successful implementation and oversight of the Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program. These costs are expected to be used for the administration of the grant.

Sheet 9: h. Indirect

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Indirect (facilities & administrative (F&A)) costs means those costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. 2. Indirect costs may be charged to the award if, the applicant has a Federally approved indirect cost rate or the applicant has never received a negotiated indirect cost rate and elects to charge a de minimis rate of 10 percent of modified total direct costs (MTDC), which can be used indefinitely. MTDC means all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 of each subaward (regardless of the period of performance of the subawards under the award). MTDC excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000. 3. Indirect costs that are related to the administration of the Eligible Entity's grant count toward the statutory two percent cap. By their nature, indirect costs are those recipient costs that are not directly associated with the recipient’s execution of its grant-funded project, but that are necessary to the operation of the organization and the performance of its programs. A grantee should describe the types of indirect costs that it will charge to the grant. A grantee can never double-charge a cost as both a direct and an indirect administrative cost. The budget provided by the Eligible Entity must explain how they will account for direct and indirect personnel costs charged to the grant with the statutory two percent cap (see BEAD FAQ 7.11). It is the Eligible Entity’s responsibility to determine whether their indirect costs include such expenses subject to the cap, and account for them appropriately. The Eligible Entity must document such accounting, and make it available to NTIA and NIST if requested. 4. Fill out the table below to indicate how your indirect costs are calculated. 5. The rates and how they are applied should not be averaged to get one indirect cost percentage. Complex calculations or rates that do not do not correspond to the below categories should be described/provided in the Additional Explanation section below. If questions exist, consult with your DOC contact before filling out this section. 6. The indirect rate should be applied to both the Federal Share and Recipient Cost Share. 7. NOTE: A Recipient who elects to employ the 10% de minimis Indirect Cost rate cannot claim "unrecovered indirect costs" as a Cost Share contribution (see 2 CFR 200.306(c)). These costs cannot be reflected as actual indirect cost rates realized by the organization, and therefore are not verifiable in the Recipient records as required by Federal Regulation (§200.306(b)(1)).
Rate Period	Indirect Cost Base ($)	Indirect Cost Rate (%)	Total Indirect Costs ($)	Amount ($) of Indirect Costs covered by Federal Funds	Amount ($) of Indirect Costs covered by Non-Federal Funds	Explanation of Indirect Cost Base
Period of Performance	$1,123,090	10.00%	$112,309	$112,309	$0	The Eligible Entity does not have a Federally approved indirect costs rate and elects to charge a de minimis rate of 10 percent of modified total direct costs (MTDC). Indirect Cost Base of the MTDC is based on the following Tabs: Personnel ($552,000); Travel ($12,190); Supplies ($8,900); Contractual-Subawards (2 Subawards totaling $50,000 and $500,000 contracts)
05/01/2024 - 12/31/2026	$600,000	56.00%	$336,000	$300,000	$36,000	Cost base is based on negotiated rate agreement and includes Labor, Fringe, Travel, and Other.

Sheet 10: i. Cost Sharing-Matching

i. Cost Sharing/Matching
INSTRUCTIONS 1. A detailed presentation of the cash or cash value of all cost share/matching proposed by the Eligible Entity must be provided in the table below. Identify the source organization & amount of each cost share item proposed in the award. Any cost share/matching provided by a subrecipient should be entered in tab e. Contractual-Subawards. 2. Cash - Except as expressly provided for in the Infrastructure Act, funds from other Federal programs (including funds from the Commission’s Universal Service Fund programs) may not be used as matching funds. The Infrastructure Act expressly provides that matching funds for the BEAD Program may come from a federal regional commission or authority and from funds that were provided to an Eligible Entity or a subgrantee for the purpose of deploying broadband service under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (Public Law 116-127; 134 Stat. 178); the CARES Act (Public Law 116-136; 134 Stat. 281), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260; 134 Stat. 1182); or the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2; 135 Stat. 4), to the extent permitted by those laws. 3. In Kind - Contributions, which may include third-party in-kind contributions, are non-cash donations of property, goods or services, which benefit a federally assisted project, and which may count toward satisfying the non-federal matching requirement of a project’s total budgeted costs when such contributions meet certain criteria. NTIA encourages applicants to thoroughly consider potential sources of in-kind contributions that, depending on the particular property or service and the applicable federal cost principles, could include employee or volunteer services; equipment; supplies; indirect costs; computer hardware and software; and use of facilities. In the broadband context this could include, consistent with federal cost principles, waiver of fees associated with access to rights of way, pole attachments, conduits, easements, or access to other types of infrastructure. 4. Please identify the Federal statute that is providing the funds to be used to meet match requirements. 5. All matching must be necessary to the performance of the project. If questions exist, consult your NTIA contact before filling out In Kind cost share in this section. 6. Contractors may not provide cost share. Any partial donation of goods or services is considered a discount and is not allowable. 7. Fee or profit, including foregone fee or profit, are not allowable as project costs (including cost share) under any resulting award. The project may only incur those costs that are allowable and allocable to the project (including cost share) as determined in accordance with the applicable cost principles prescribed in 2 CFR Part 200. 8. A Recipient who elects to employ the 10% de minimis Indirect Cost rate cannot claim the resulting indirect costs as a Cost Share contribution. 9. A Recipient cannot claim "unrecovered indirect costs" as a Cost Share contribution, without prior approval.
