Founded in 1974, MGT is a limited liability company owned by the current and retired partners, principals, and consultants of the firm. The advantage of this ownership structure to our clients is that every member of the firm has a vested interest in the successful completion of every project, for every client. MGT FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP The MGT Financial Solutions Group provides cost allocation plan preparation, user fee study and indirect cost rate calculation services to government entities in over 30 states including Colorado. In the past five years, our consultants have prepared more than 300 hundred cost allocation plans and studies for cities, and counties ranging in population from a few thousand to over three million. Additionally, MGT financial solutions consultants have successfully completed several thousand user fee studies, cost allocation plans, and related studies for cities and counties in the past 30 years as consultants with MGT or as consultants with other firms. Our proposed Project Director, Ms. Meredith Miller, and our proposed Project Consultant, Ms. Michelle Garrett, successfully provide cost allocation services to nearly sixty other Colorado cities and counties as well as for cities and counties across the U.S. EXPERIENCE IN COLORADO The following table is a list of Colorado clients currently, or recently, receiving cost allocation, indirect cost rate calculation or use fee study services from MGT Financial Services consultants.

The County will also receive the following beneficial information.  Current events in other Colorado cities and counties.  How other Colorado cities and counties are applying cost allocation.  Current trends in budgeting in other Colorado cities and counties.  Cost allocation best practices from other Colorado cities and counties.  Fresh ideas gleaned from situations in other Colorado cities and counties. 2 CFR PART 200 COST ALLOCATION PLAN States, and many state agencies, counties, and cities provide services that include administrative and support expenditures allowable for federal and/or state and/or interfund reimbursement. Under 2 CFR Part 200 guidelines, which are now codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as 2 225 CFR, local governments may be reimbursed for these administrative and support expenditures if they are documented in a cost allocation plan and indirect cost rates that are compliant with the principles contained in the Circular. It can be generalized that a 2 CFR Part 200 compliant cost allocation plan is applicable to external purposes such as recovering indirect costs on federal and state grants and awards, and internal purposes such as charging administrative and support costs incurred to non-General Funds. Colorado is one of the states that tasks counties with operating and administering Human Services programs. In general terms, the state funds 80% of the cost of these programs with the counties funding the remaining 20% of the cost. The state recognizes that there are administrative, or support costs incurred by the counties in addition to the actual program costs. Examples of administrative or support costs include Accounting, Human Resources, and Procurement. The state reimburses counties approximately 29% of these administrative costs associated with operating Human Services programs. DocuSign Envelope ID: 08A3ACC0-4094-47F2-965B-379668276466 COST ALLOCATION PLAN SCOPE OF SERVICES EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO | FEBRUARY 15, 2022 COST ALLOCATION PLAN SCOPE OF SERVICES PAGE 3 Counties must file a 2 CFR Part 200 compliant cost allocation plan annually to receive this reimbursement. Annual cost allocation plans are submitted to the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) on or before June 30 (or by negotiated extension). Subject to audit, the state reimburses the counties on a quarterly basis. In addition to reimbursement from CDHS, Colorado counties may use a 2 CFR Part 200 cost allocation plan to document and support indirect cost reimbursement requests from agencies such as CDOT as well as for transfers for administrative and support services from non-General Funds to the General Fund. COST ALLOCATION PLAN PREPARATION METHODOLOGY We utilize a cost allocation plan methodology that incorporates years of experience applying 2 CFR Part 200 principles into a systematic, yet flexible, multi-step approach to raise the accuracy and acceptance of cost allocation plan results. This methodology has been reviewed and accepted by state agencies, federal cognizant agencies, internal auditors, and external auditors in multiple states, including Colorado. SPECIFIC PHASES AND TASKS The following four-phase work plan has been refined over many years to provide a methodology that produces compliant cost allocation plans with minimal disruption to our client’s workload. Phase 1 – Meetings with County Personnel and Data Collection  Meet with key County personnel including Finance and Health and Human Services. This meeting will refine project objectives, establish the final project schedule, and identify potential pitfalls. We will review our project approach with meeting participants and make sure that all involved personnel fully understand how the cost allocation plan will be developed and adopted, as well as conform to the County’s desired outcomes. We will also request from the County source financial and operational data at this time.  We will then determine appropriate net allowable costs, including labor, for each central service (centralized administrative or support) department or division (such as accounting, human resources, and information technology) while also identifying the primary services (or functions) provided and the recipients of those services. We will also determine jointly with department personnel, optimal allocation bases or metrics to distribute the identified service costs. Phase 2 – Process Draft Cost Allocation Plan  Based on each central service department’s identified services, corresponding net costs, service recipients, and allocation base or metric, we will process a draft cost allocation plan. This draft plan will be reviewed and refined based on several quality assurance activities. Our proprietary cost allocation software will be used to process the cost allocation plan.

Inconsistencies will be reconciled, new data obtained as required, and the draft cost allocation plan and indirect cost rates (if applicable) will be revised as necessary. Phase 4 – Finalize Results and Provide On-going Assistance  After Finance and other key department personnel have approved the final cost allocation plan, we will prepare supplemental schedules, management reports, compliance verbiage, and certifications as necessary or requested.  Deliver two printed and electronic cost allocation plans to the County, as well as electronic copies of all supporting documentation, including comparison and trend reports, as requested. We will also assist County staff integrate the cost allocation plan and indirect cost rates (if applicable) into the County's financial and operational systems.  Assist in submitting the final cost allocation plan to the Colorado Department of Human Services.  Provide negotiation, audit defense, and technical assistance on an on-going basis to County personnel. We will be available and responsive to County personnel throughout the year to answer questions or provide information.  Should the cognizant agency not approve the plan or rates, we will modify the analysis until accepted. ESTIMATED SCHEDULE The estimated schedule for completing the cost allocation plan is approximately 90 days. Annually, the project would begin around the first part of March and conclude with submittal to the County and to CDHS on or before June 30. This time frame assumes necessary data is provided in a timely manner in a usable format. This timeframe is flexible and can be modified to meet external and internal deadlines. COUNTY SUPPLIED ASSISTANCE We are flexible in the level of involvement of County personnel. County personnel can work very closely with the project team and be actively involved in every step of the process or can be moderately involved in the project and defer the day-to-day project details and data collection to the consultants. Either approach, or an in-between hybrid approach, will lead to the same successful project results. Ideally the County will designate a project manager to serve as a liaison between the County and the project team. The County’s project manager will provide institutional knowledge to the project team, provide centralized data such as expenditure and salary reports, and schedule initial meetings with the various departments. The time requirement for this individual is minimal. DocuSign Envelope ID: 08A3ACC0-4094-47F2-965B-379668276466 COST ALLOCATION PLAN SCOPE OF SERVICES EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO | FEBRUARY 15, 2022 COST ALLOCATION PLAN SCOPE OF SERVICES PAGE 5 In addition to the County’s project manager, the project will request a department liaison from each allocating, or support, department. Ideally, these department liaisons will be familiar with the operations and personnel within the department they represent. The time requirement for these individuals is minimal. We estimate that County personnel should spend no more than 2 to 4 hours on the project, with the exception of the County’s project manager. This person’s time is totally dependent on the amount of involvement in the project he/she wishes to devote to it. That individual might want to participate in all aspects of the project. Most project managers participate in selected interviews and all review sessions, in which case their involvement could be 10 to 20 hours over the course of the project. Department personnel primary involvement in the project will provide our team with information based on three broad questions. 1. What services does your department provide? 2. How are these services provided? 3. Which departments receive these services? Department personnel are also asked to review and validate inputs and/or draft results. PROJECT DELIVERABLES The County will receive from MGT consultants the following services: Project Deliverables 1. A Final 2 CFR Part 200 cost allocation plan based on actual costs. This cost plan will allow the County to recover indirect costs from federal and state programs such as Human Services programs administered through CDHS. 2.
