Cost Allocation Plan Consultant Services

The Metropolitan Council in St. Paul, Minnesota is seeking a consultant to provide cost allocation plan services. The agency needs to establish a plan that complies with federal cost principles, including allowability, allocability, and consistency requirements. This initiative will solve the agency's need for a compliant framework that clearly distinguishes between direct and indirect costs while identifying and excluding unallowable costs from rate calculations. The scope of work requires the selected contractor to document allocation methodologies and supporting calculations. The final plan must be supported by audited financial data and be suitable for review and approval by the Federal Transit Administration. The agency will allow the contractor to perform all work offsite. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 10, 2026. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on June 10, 2026. Bidders must submit their final responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
