Professional Broadcast Cost Matrix - Appendix A

This file is a Professional Broadcast, Audio Visual and Multi-Media Equipment Cost Matrix for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that establishes pricing and authorization requirements for equipment vendors and service providers. The matrix requires bidders to complete supplier information and demonstrate authorization as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or authorized resellers for at least one manufacturer from a mandatory OEM list that includes major vendors such as Poly, Logi, JVC Professional/Broadcast, Panasonic, Sony, Blackmagic Design, Crestron Electronics, Extron, Biamp, QSC Q-SYS, APC, TrippLite/Eaton, Middle Atlantic, Barco, Shure, Audio-Technica, JBL, Bose/Bose Pro, Haivision, LG, Samsung, Scale Logic, Ross Video, Canon, Draper, Arri, and Sennheiser. Bidders must provide manufacturer authorization letters (MALs) for all manufacturers they represent and enter discount rates off OEM list prices as whole number percentages for each authorized manufacturer, with no ranges permitted and blank fields considered zero.

The cost matrix establishes service rates for weekday hours (Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), weekday after-hours (Monday through Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.), weekend hours (Friday 5:00 p.m. through Monday 7:30 a.m.), and overtime rates for hours worked beyond eight consecutive hours in a 24-hour period, along with one-time site visit fees and hourly training costs. The matrix includes pricing categories for professional multimedia and cable system equipment, control systems, displays/monitors/projectors, rack systems and power management, satellite/microwave equipment, and miscellaneous installation equipment, with an optional list of additional OEM manufacturers available for bidders who meet the mandatory OEM requirement. All percentages must be whole numbers, ranges are not permitted, and bidders may not bid on optional OEMs without first providing pricing for at least one mandatory OEM.
