Revised Exhibit D
Salaries and Benefits: Case Manager salary is determined by an hourly rate ranging from
$28.00 to $32.00 to account for a wage increase in years two and three. Benefits, include
medical and worker's compensation, account for approximately 20%. Each year's compensation
is broken down into three phases based on the number of participants with a case manager
having a 1:40 case ratio.
Services & Supplies: Costs to cover training, assessment tools, technology software,
educational materials, communication, and travel expenses, as well as basic office materials.
Fixed Assets: Will include case management tools. Examples include laptops and phones, as
well as development or purchase of data tracking software. The BSCC defines equipment and
fixed assets as nonexpendable personal property having a useful life of more than one year and
an acquisition cost of$5,000 or more per each unit (including tax and installation). If equipment
is purchased as a complete package (i.e., computer, monitor, modem, software, etc.), the total
package cost, not the unit cost, would determine if it qualifies under the equipment category. All
equipment or fixed assets with an acquisition cost of$3,500 or more require prior approval by
BSCC before the purchase is made. Contractor must submit a written declaration to the County,
for submission to the BSCC, that the equipment or fixed assets to be purchased are to be used
for services directly associated with the project, essential to the success of the project; and less
expensive than leasing or renting the equipment for the grant cycle based on an investigation of
lease and rental options.
Overhead Administrative Costs: Comprising 15% of the total annual budget, these costs are
allocated to cover facility operation expenses including office space maintenance, the upkeep of
designated company vehicles, and the support personnel needed for efficient office
administration. Additionally, these costs encompass other administrative essentials such as
utilities, insurance, and office supplies.
