accordance with this Agreement, Consultant’s rights with respect to such additional services shall be
deemed waived and such failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work

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.

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.

EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO | FEBRUARY 15, 2022
COST ALLOCATION PLAN SCOPE OF SERVICES PAGE 4
Phase 3 – Review Draft Results with County Personnel
After the draft cost allocation plan is prepared and reviewed internally, our consultants will
review the results with County personnel from Finance and key central service and receiving
departments such as Human Services, Health, Road and Bridge and other grant funds, and
special revenue or enterprise funds. 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.

EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO | FEBRUARY 15, 2022

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

County to recover indirect costs from federal and state programs such as Human Services

schedule will be submitted to CDHS along with the 2 CFR Part 200 cost allocation plan for

County to recover indirect costs from federal and state programs and grants if allowed.

those officials request such negotiation.
6. A Final Full cost allocation plan based on actual costs. This cost plan will allow the County to
