02426 Exh C-Bid Price Final.xlsx

This is a price sheet exhibit (Exhibit C) for a competitive solicitation issued by Washington State Enterprise Services for Discovery Services contracts (Solicitation 02426). The solicitation seeks professional contractors to provide discovery services for state agencies and eligible purchasers pertaining to litigation, claims, and other matters. The price sheet is structured to accommodate bidders who may submit pricing for one or more of three categories: Category 1 (Discovery Services), Category 2 (Discovery Services with FEDRAMP and/or CJIS Certification), and Category 3 (Additional Discovery Services). The statewide master contracts resulting from this solicitation are intended to provide cost-effective and efficient procurement solutions for participating entities.

The price sheet requires bidders to enter not-to-exceed (NTE) unit pricing in green-highlighted cells for all line items within selected categories, with pricing structured across five service areas: Personnel (eight positions ranging from Program/Project Manager to Attorney Review at hourly rates), Data Collection (four collection methods plus search term reporting), Data Processing (nine service types including data ingestion, OCR, and scanning at per-gigabyte or per-page rates), Data Analysis, Review and Production (endorsement, Bates numbering, redactions, and production preparation), and Data Management (e-discovery platform fees and setup costs). Categories 1 and 2 each contain 30 line items valued at 800 total points for scoring purposes, with incomplete submissions or zero pricing potentially considered non-responsive. Category 3 allows bidders to propose additional services beyond the standard line items at their discretion. All pricing must include all costs necessary to perform services and will represent the maximum allowable rates if awarded under the contract.
