1-73-RFPIT0016 Attachment A Pricing.pdf

This is a pricing attachment form for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Western Carolina Power (WCP), a university-owned electric utility in North Carolina, for a comprehensive GIS mapping and field inventory project. The RFP seeks vendors to document and assess the utility's electric distribution assets, including poles, transformers, meters, lines, and support structures, while integrating data into an ArcGIS platform accessible via mobile devices. The scope of work encompasses ten primary service categories: project mobilization, data conversion and integration, field data collection, condition assessment, GIS platform configuration, staff training, hardware and software procurement, data governance setup, deliverables, and post-implementation support. Vendors are also given the option to propose costs for future updates, enhancements, and additional training sessions beyond the core project deliverables.

The pricing form requires vendors to provide unit costs and quantities for each line item, resulting in extended costs that contribute to a grand total project cost. Vendors must submit their pricing information in a separate enclosure as specified in the RFP instructions and are instructed to document any cost reductions or efficiencies resulting from WCP's support, such as provision of linemen or access coordination. The form requires the authorized representative's signature, title, and date, along with vendor contact information including name, contact person, phone, and email. This pricing structure allows WCP to evaluate and compare vendor proposals based on clearly defined service categories and associated costs for the modernization initiative supporting the university's reliability, safety, and operational efficiency objectives.
