06-RFP - 26-2108 - Schedule B - Pricing.docx

This is a pricing schedule form (Schedule B) for Request for Proposal No. 260000002108 issued by the State of Michigan for Financial Examination/Analysis Services Pre-Qualification. The RFP requires contractors to submit a modifiable pricing schedule in Microsoft Word or Excel format, with the option to provide an additional non-modifiable PDF version. Failure to complete the pricing schedule as requested may result in proposal disqualification. The pricing proposal must encompass all costs associated with contract performance, including one-time or set-up charges, fees, travel expenses, and any ancillary costs such as shipping and handling, per-piece pricing, and palletizing charges.

Contractors must provide hourly rates for staff and roles that will serve as the basis for second-tier bidding of total project costs with associated project hours. The pricing schedule includes blank fields for contractors to enter hourly rates, with additional rows available as needed. Contractors are encouraged to offer expedited payment terms by specifying a percentage discount off the invoice if payment is received within a stated number of days after invoice receipt, with the timeframe excluding processing time for payment to reach the contractor's financial institution. All contractors submitting proposals must certify that prices were developed independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with other contractors.
