About this file
This document is a Cost Proposal for the State of North Dakota, specifically RFP Number 110.7-22-043, submitted by Educate 360, a professional training organization. The proposal involves multiple training and consulting partners including Project Management Academy, Watermark Learning, AgileUp, Plerian Training, and Velopi, with a contact address in Boston, Massachusetts.
The proposal outlines a comprehensive training services contract for 22 professional development courses across categories such as Business Analysis, Project Management, Agile, Certification Preparation, and IT frameworks. The contract period runs through 10/31/2024, with a flat 15% percentage discount applied to course pricing. The State requires vendors to provide training for a minimum of five "market basket" courses, which can be delivered through real-time virtual classrooms or self-paced formats. Pricing is based on entry-level courses, with catalog prices ranging from $445 to $1,995, and course lengths varying from 0.5 to 4 days. The evaluation methodology involves calculating a daily course rate with the applied discount, which will be used to determine cost points for the proposal.

Market Basket Course Name
List a minimum of five courses from the market basket above. If you offer more than five of the market basket courses listed, use additional rows as necessary to provide pricing for evaluation purposes.
The daily course rate with discount will then be totaled for all courses offered and divided by the total number of courses offered from the market basket. This number will be utilized to determine cost points.
Offerors can provide courses outside of the market basket; however, for evaluation purposes only market basket courses will be considered.
The onsite rate covers all travel related expenses (travel, meals, lodging, or related expenses), except for Short Notice Work Order Requests issued with less than 14 calendar days to project start date. In such cases and with the approval of the agency issuing the work order, we may be allowed to bill supplemental travel expenses caused by the Short Notice and will provide documentation justifying the supplemental travel expense billing.
