120910 O5 Cost Sheet Final.docx

The document is a Cost Sheet for RFP #120910 O5 issued by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau for Racing and Gaming Consultant Services supporting the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission (NRGC). The solicitation seeks a consultant to develop comprehensive auditing processes for Authorized Gaming Operator financial records, create detailed policies and procedures, and analyze current workflows. The proposal is due on April 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an anticipated contract start date of July 1, 2025, and an initial two-year contract term. Key deliverables include developing an audit program with associated tools and templates, implementing new audit processes, establishing evaluation mechanisms, and producing regular updates and comprehensive reports.

The cost sheet outlines an all-inclusive pricing structure covering two initial contract years, with specific line items for developing and implementing an audit program, finance department analysis, step-by-step planning, and comprehensive reporting. The evaluation will use a 100-point scoring system (25 points for Corporate Overview, 65 points for Technical Approach, and 10 points for Cost Sheet), with potential additional points from oral interviews. Pricing must remain fixed for the first two years, with subsequent price increase requests limited to 10% and requiring submission at least 120 days before the current contract period ends. The State reserves the right to extend the contract beyond the initial termination date upon mutual agreement, and bidders must demonstrate they are not currently providing services to an Authorized Gaming Operator and commit to avoiding such conflicts during the contract period.
